The club organise various social events throughout the year. These are sometimes combined with rides and sometimes purely social so that partners and families can join in. The best place to find out the latest information on what is happening is on our forum. If you have any other suggestions please post up there or let one of the committee know.
Trips
We have also organised lots of trips away to ride, race or watch events both in the UK and abroad. In 2008 a group of 20 of us went cycling in Mallorca in March, weekends away mountain biking and competing in mountain mayhem and in November we went to Ghent to watch the six day and a national cyclo-cross event. In 2009 we had 22 riding in Tuscany for a week in March, a B&B weekend to Hawes, Mountain biking in Swaledale and several members competing in the Etape and Duo Normand.
Club Events
The club events are a great place to meet everyone and as they start and finish in a pub carpark we tend to stay around after the event for food, drink and to catch up. We also organised a barbeque after our Open 50 in 2009 which was a great evening and brought a lot of members together that wouldn't normally meet.
Club Dinner
The annual club dinner and prize presentation is on Saturday 14th November 2009 at the Cresta Court Hotel in Sale. Tickets available from John Dawson or Martin Brown.
Christmas Ride and Lunch
We have also organised a Christmas ride and lunch on 13th December 2009 with a theme of 'bad taste 80s cyclists! Lunch will be at the egerton arms and you need to let Stu Leyland know you are coming pay in advance if you would like to join us. The ride will go out to support the MDTTA Christmas 10 in Byley.
Christmas Drinks
We will also be meeting for Christmas drinks on Friday 18th December 2009. Details to be decided nearer the time.
Suggestions
Many of the club members are keen to meet up for social events more often so if you have any ideas for club social events or would be willing to organise something, please let us know.
