England : Lancashire Great Manchester Cycle 2013

[Andrew Br]

Yes we did.

iirc last year we went the wrong way along The Mancy Way.

How did you do that? Wrong side of the road?

 

[Hacienda71]

Never thought about it on the day. All closed roads so you just followed the route. Looking at the pics though we were definitely travelling the wrong way along the Mancunian Way.

I'm doing this (52 mile), my first big event although i've ridden solo for similar distances, wouldn't mind riding with some CCers if no-one minds.

I'm doing 26 miles so could join you for first two laps!

 

[jarlrmai]

I think it's different start times, unless you mean your first 2 laps, i'm not sure how they are merging it all.

Yes, you're correct. Ah well!

There's quite a few of us doing the 52-miler. Some, like me, will be in a CC jersey.

 

[jarlrmai]

Okay cool I'll try to pick you guys out if no-one minds.

You'll be coming in from the M62? I'd suggest parking in or around the Manchester Evening News arena.

Apparently British Cycling members get a 'Priority Start Zone' if you put your membership number in when registering: https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/membership/article/pre-sale-tickets-members?utm_medium=email

I doubt I did though - and wouldn't remember even if I had done!
