Manchester to Blackpool

[Jmetz]

It is most likely in place to cover their own backs, you know what people are like these days, they will sue and blame whoever they can for their own accidents.

As far as i am aware its all public roads.

What can all us cc'ers do so we can recognise each other? Lots of us won't have any cc clothing.so we need something else.
I only have a cc buff which I doubt I'll need if the weather stays like this.

 

[fossyant]

TBH, if you have a 'younger' child who is capable of it, then let them ride. The Cheshire Cat has a young lad of about 9ish riding the last couple of years.....

That's a lot of cyclists....... Manchester 100 doesn't get that many...

A work colleague who's also doing the ride spoke to the organisers a couple of weeks ago, apparently over 9000 had registered by then, so I think there'll be a good 10000 on the day.

[Jmetz]

People will not take kindly to being done over by a pair of fairies

 

[DaleB]

Did MCR to BPool on my own a couple of years ago - plenty of people doing it means plenty of company! Route is tougher than it sounds - nasty sharp short hills at mile 55! Well organised on the whole, but wouldn't trust the lorry transport with my Bianchi.

Ha ha, that must be Dowbridge you are talking about. We go up that on our return from about 50% of our club rides. It's only short but it is a sneaky little bugger.
