A quick plod through the local river trails at dinnertime. #BikeToot #cycling #GravelBike #river #offroad #BikeTooter #VeganCyclist

Another quick 30 minute ride squeezed in during dinner hour. As usual, lovely and peaceful down Reddish Vale. #Cycling #OutsideIsFree #Vegan #VeganCyclist #FromWhereIRideI #OsgarTheOrro #OrroBikes #BikeTooter #BikeToot #ReddishVale

Not the whole ride, as planned. At the top of Long Hill, where I'd lost the rest of the lads who went south, I dropped down to Errwood reservoir (BLOODY FAST DESCENT!) then picked up the trail by another reservoir. A roller coaster ride home in time to help Mrs C with jobs! #Cycling #OutsideIsFree #Vegan #VeganCyclist #FromWhereIRideI #OsgarTheOrro #OrroBikes #BikeTooter #BikeToot #LongHill #GoytValley

Stunning day for a spin! 🚴‍♂️ Nipped out after work yesterday. Windows like this are exactly why we climb. If you look closely above the valley, you can just about see the top of Hartshead Pike.#Cycling #OutsideIsFree #Vegan #VeganCyclist #FromWhereIRideI #OsgarTheOrro #OrroBikes #BikeTooter #BikeToot #Mossley #HartsheadPike

Ah, the classic "I swear I'm exercising and not just stopping to look at pretty trees" perspective. 🚴‍♂️🌲
Sunlight filtering through the canopy, a crisp paved trail ahead, and absolutely no traffic in sight. If only every Tuesday morning felt like a smooth, shaded coast through the woods. Why can't every week be half term??? (Though my bike computer is currently judging my speed, let's just focus on the scenery, shall we?) #Cycling #OutsideIsFree #Vegan #VeganCyclist #FromWhereIRideI #BikeTooter #BikeToot

I've been taking advantage of the dry, sunny weather the last few days by taking Naomhan off road. Another bonus is the trees on these tracks are good windbreakers. #BikeToot #BikeTooter #titanium #ti #cycling #Gravel #GravelBike #OutsideIsFree #Vegan #VeganCyclist #FromWhereIRide

First proper #gravel ride of 2026, seen here on the path in #ReddishVale. This starts as mud, then gravel, over field run-off drains, then bricks and stones before mud and dirt and then a few cobbles. Great fun. Always great to be back on the #NorthRoadCycles #GraviTi . #cycling #GravelRide #VeganCyclist #OutsideIsFree #BikeTooter #BikeToot #Bicycle

Another chilly (4 degrees), but fun, gravel ride through the local woods, canals and parks. 105 minutes before breakfast, ideal! #Gravel #BikeTooter #GravelRide #GravelCycling #BikeToot #cycling #VeganCyclist #OutsideIsFree #ItsBetterBy Bike

A soggy, solo Sunday ride out. The first 75 minutes was dry with the odd spit of rain. The last 15 minutes was a whole different story...so wet! Still, it's always great to get out, despite the forecast. The route took in Stockport, Cheadle, Woodford, Chadkirk and Grieve. #Cycling #OutsideIsFree #Vegan #VeganCyclist #FromWhereIRideI #OsgarTheOrro #OrroBikes #BikeTooter #BikeToot #SoloSunday #Woodford #bicycle

A few hours with the club this morning, any views were unavailable today! #Cycling #OutsideIsFree #Vegan #VeganCyclist #FromWhereIRideI #OsgarTheOrro #OrroBikes #BikeTooter #BikeTootI #fog #FoggyAF

Last weekend was my cycling club's (Dukinfield CC) 140th anniversary. To celebrate, we'd arranged to ride 70 miles to Lyneal, Shropshire, on Saturday, stay overnight in the activity centre there, then ride the next 70 on the Sunday. What a contrast on both those days. Saturday, wet, miserable (but fun) for the whole ride. Sunday, cold but clear with blue skies, riding home fuelled by beer and food from the pub the night before. The only downside of a stupendous weekend was a double accident to two riders, Phil and Emidio. Phil is the guy second right, with the open black jacket on, in photo #2. Emidio was overtaking Phil on a steep, wet, narrow descent (he was told not to) when a car came up in the opposite direction. Emidio hit the brakes but slid into Phil. Both decked it but Phil has a broken left wrist and shoulder ligament damage. Emidio not so bad. So their ride lasted about 15 miles! Ah well....there's always 2035, lads! #Cycling #OutsideIsFree #Vegan #VeganCyclist #BikeTooter #BikeToot

Yesterday was a jab (for the boy), jobs (for me), then a fun, hilly 90-minute bike ride. On the descent from The Horse and Jockey, I stopped to take a photo of the Saddleworth Hotel, where Mrs. C and I got married in 2002. #Cycling #OutsideIsFree #Vegan #VeganCyclist #FromWhereIRide #OsgarTheOrro #OrroBikes #BikeTooter #BikeToot

120km done on the Naomhan, the North Road Cycles Grav-i-Ti, over the last three days. A lovely Sunday club run and two WFH "commutes"! This morning's ride included a stop by the "amazing oak tree" (©️ Google Maps), by the River Tame, and what a tree it is. Quality, all around. #cycling #GravelBike #Gravel #GravelRide #GraviTi #NorthRoadCycles #Naomhán #OakTree #nature #ponies #vegan #VeganCyclist

Quality ride with the club today, taking in local climbs and super fast descents. We stopped for coffee and was visited by a very tame robin. Such a poser, stood there for minutes letting us take photos! #BikeTooter #BikeToot #cycling #robin #BirdToot #OutsideIsFree #VeganCyclist

A fantastic, mainly canals and gravel, ride today with my club, Dukinfield CC. We rode the canal to Hollingworth Lake then the rocky trails east of there back to Denshaw. Then some road before picking up the canal again in Uppermill which took me, more or less, all the way home. Superb ride out. Loved it. #BikeTooter #BikeToot #cycling #GravelCycling #DukinfieldCyclistsClub #HollingworthLake #LoveCycling #Vegan #VeganCyclist #NineToes #NineToedCyclist

Nipped out for an hour and managed 24km before the rain started on #Osgar the #Orro. A lovely tailwind from the turn at #Stockport. #Cycling #OutsideIsFree #FromWhereIRide #OsgarTheOrro #OrroBikes #BikeTooter #BikeToot #VeganCyclist

Back on the bike after nearly 5 weeks in Spain (no bikey there, unfortunately). Had to nip to North Road Cycles, in Sale Moor. Blimey, I really did feel being out of the saddle for several weeks during the last 10km home! I took in part of the Trans Pennine Trail (TPT) on the return journey, too. Lovely! #BikeTooter #BikeToot #cycling #Orro #OsgarTheOrro #JacksonsBridge #SaleMoor #NorthRoadCycles #OutsideIsFree #FromWhereIRide #VeganCyclist #PlantPoweredCyclist #Vegan #TPT

Got 75km and >1000m done with two mates out to Scammonden dam then a lovely tailwind home. I've done this ride a few times now and always see the same pig but this time he was with some sheep mates and not on his Jack Jones. It's a hard but very rewarding ride, as you can probably tell! #BikeTooter #BikeToot #cycling #ScammondenDam #CHPT3 #SCC3 #UpInTheHills #OutsideIsFree #FromWhereIRide #DukinfieldCC #Duks #VeganCyclist #EatPlantsAndRide

I met up with the #DukinfieldCC guys first thing but left them after a few miles as I had to head for home. I needed to sort the loft out as we're getting the roof done so I have to make space! This picture is on Middlewood Road, near #HazelGrove. The very busy A6 is in stone throwing distance but you can't hear it from this spot. It's one of my favourite roads to ride on, especially when it's fully green! #BikeTooter #BikeToot #Cycling #VeganCyclist #OsgarTheOrro #OrroBikes #FromWhereIRide #OutsideIsFree

A quality solo ride into #Cheshire yesterday while everyone else was watching the #TourOfBritain. A quick coffee at The Wizard Tea Rooms after going up Artists Lane before the home stretch. 75km in glorious sunshine (remember that?) and happy in the knowledge it's pissing down at my Mum's in #Chipiona. They need it! Lovely to spend time with Peadar the #Pinarello, too. I've had this bike for over 20 years and I've no idea how old it actually is as I got it second hand from a proper racer!

Homemade #vegan beet veggie burgers, plus air fried French Fries. Delicious food after a ride!

Not black and white :)

A heady couple of hours on Osgar earlier. Lots of climbing but we both enjoy it. Some friends (not food) and #HartsheadPike from the top of Mossley Road, looking down on #Greenfield and #Uppermill from Ladcastle Road, the top of Grains Road and looking down on Town from Top O' Th' Meadows. Lovely stuff. And all this was after I'd been chatting with the #vegan protesters outside Pilgrims in A-U-L. Power to the plant eaters!

Yesterday was my club's annual Paper Chase. It was the first time for nearly 2 years that I'd ridden over 100km! The Paper Chase, if you're unaware, is the hare laying blobs of paint at junctions and the hounds (3 teams of 2) setting off 10 minutes behind the hare, trying to work out which direction to go from each junction. All good fun and lots of tracks and trails thrown in, too, some new to me. My team finished second,no prizes, but nice beans on toast at the cafe then a lovely ride home over the Cheshire lanes. #biketooter #cycling #PaperChase #VeganCyclist #biketoot
