Location: Note earlier 0930 start time and location change: Macclesfield tennis club.

The ride will start and finish from outside the Macclesfield Tennis Club gate which is within the Macclesfield Learning Zone campus. There is plenty of parking on the site if required.

Directions to start area. Enter the Macclesfield Learning Zone from Park Lane and keep left until opposite the main Macclesfield Academy building. There is a sign for the Macclesfield Tennis Club on the left opposite the school building. We will meet there to leave at 09:30

This week the club is running a memorial ride for Steve Porter, club member who sadly died whilst out riding his bike in April.

The aim is for the Saturday Social to meet up with the main ride at Ankers Knowl Lane after refreshments at Peak View Tea Room, then at 1300 we will proceed past Steve’s memorial post and turn right on to Buxton Old Road and head down to the finish. Glynis and family will be at the Macclesfield Tennis Clubhouse from about 13:30. Beverages will be available at the clubhouse (the clubhouse will be open to us from 13:00 to 15:00). Whilst the Saturday Social will take a much shorter 22 mile route route than the full memorial ride, IT WILL BE HILLY! Don’t be put off though as we will have plenty of time for breaks, and time to walk up any steep bits if required.
