Seamons Cycling Club Sunday Rides: Social – Pott Shrigley

This is our entry level ride and caters for newer but regular cyclists who wish to experience Club group riding. Rides are less demanding than the other club runs and are taken at a more gentle pace. All have a designated Seamons CC member as coordinator and are around 30-40 miles. Cycling parents of younger riders are both welcome and encouraged to take part. Rides generally last about 3-4 hours including a cafe stop. If anyone is struggling they will be supported on the ride and offered guidance on how to prepare before further participation. Experienced club members are encouraged to join these rides in order to support and offer guidance to newer members.

If you’re interested you can contact our cycling development officer Darren Buckley for more information or alternatively just turn up on a Sunday for one of the rides.

Seamons CC have rides suitable for all levels of rider (see below for more detail). All our rides (club runs) leave from the front of Rackham’s in the centre of Altrincham every Sunday at 9:00am (Tourers leave at 9:30 in the winter months). Destinations are planned in advance and can be viewed on our calendar pages here.

New riders are more than welcome to come along on a Sunday and try a club run two or three times to see how they get on. After joining us on a few runs the expectation would be for you to apply to join the club.

Each one of our Sunday rides is open to members and guests. Should you opt to change from your usual groups for a ride, it is essential that you observe the guidelines for the group you have joined. You must bring with you easily accessible emergency contact details, sufficient food / drink for your intended route, phone, working pump and at least one inner tube and tyre levers. Accidents and mechanicals happen – be prepared!

Where Junior / Youth members are present, every group has a collective responsibility for ensuring that these members arrive back safely, and accompanied, at the end point of the ride. For the Social Group this will be Costa Coffee in Hale.

All groups are expected to ride safely, showing respect for one another and for other road users. This includes care at all junctions and safely regrouping following any hazard or challenging climb. It is good practise to exchange your mobile number with at least one other ride member, in case you loose contact with the group.

For reasons of safety, and as a courtesy to other road users, the club limits any Sunday riding group to 20 members. If more than that number is present, reallocation / reorganisation will take place at Rackhams or, if necessary, at a convenient stop soon after the beginning of the ride. This will be done by a Seamons Committee member or, if none is present in that group, by a senior / experienced Club member. For the Social Run it will be the designated coordinator.

All riders should familiarise themselves with the Seamons Cycling Club – Guidelines for Organised Road Rides
