Rich Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Hi, Im relocating with work to Manchester in a couple of weeks, so was wondering if there are many regular riders around there? I'll be living in Sale just outside of Manchester and working at Salford Quays. Been living down south the last few years so don't really know any riders up north anymore, but I know there must be a lot of you about and there is a lot of good riding around! Hope to get involved with the Manchester trials scene soon if there is one!? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyNuttall Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Hey Rich, im from bury my self, about half hour bus ride from manchester centre, and im always up for a good trials ride, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Hi Anthony, Sounds good, have to get a ride going when i move up there. So do you know many local riders then, there's got to be more riders around Manc, anyone else?! Where do you normally ride, I know there's some good spots at Salford Quays, and the city centre is probably good if its not to busy. Looking forward to the natural spots as well...

konstant Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) I'm living very centrally this year. Not back at uni properly until September, but I'm here on placement until the 24th, so let me know if you're about. There's a handful of riders about. Haven't ventured out to Salford Quays yet...

isitafox Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I always reply to these saying I'll come manc so best actually come out sometime. Can't do an evening next week as I'm on nights but will deffo get down sometime. Weekdays are generally best for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashleys sugden Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 not seen you out in a while dave.. hows brakeless going?? let us know when your going down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Love it though I've really struggled for riding time recently especially with the weather. Also need a new front tyre as the one I have now is too skinny but more important things keep popping up so I can't afford! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 So how about a ride this tuesday/wednesday/thursday evening in Manchester? Meet at Piccadilly Gardens or something? Lets get some regular rides going. I work shifts as well so I will have days off during the week also. Doing 9-5 hrs all this week so an evening is good for me...

Rich Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Both days are looking a bit showery in the evening so shall we keep an eye on the forecast and decide on the day?? Maybe the forecast will be wrong... Either day at 7pm and meet at Piccadilly Gardens? (I don't know wheres best to ride but its an easy meet up point) Your not allowed bikes on the train according to their website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konstant Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Don't know about trams... Deciding on the day sounds like a good idea. And yeah, meet at pic gardens... Would be nice to go earlyish and catch some daylight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
