WELCOME TO STOCKPORT CLARION!
(This bit added after Tom Boonen-of the previous picture-renamed himself Tom "Charlie" Boonen). Anyone know of a drug free cyclist that we could have on the front page? I qualify as I don't even drink tea because it contains a stimulant. So, if you can think of someone more famous than me (seen here crawling up The Rake Hill Climb, October 2007) who fits the bill...email the website and I'll stick them here instead of me. Do it quickly as I'm feeling a bit self concious!!!
Stockport Clarion is a member of the National Clarion. A club for all of riders whatever you ride. Feel free to come training/riding with us soon. You will be very welcome.

Mountain Biking The fastest growing section of the club is this one. Wednesday nights at 7.00 in the car park opposite the Arden Arms. Also on Sundays, meet at Stalybridge railway station at 9.00. Contact Les Copeland for more details. It's always a magical mystery tour around the woods, rivers and parks of Stockport (or wherever). Bring a helmet, puncture repair kit, tyre levers and a pump and don't forget your mountain bike, cash for a pie and/or a pint and waterproofs (it does rain in England)!! More info here... and some photos. |
Time Trialing Mondays are the club TT night which runs from spring (May) until late summer (August) on the 10 mile J2/1 course near Chelford.

Club Night Wednesday nights at The Arden Arms in Stockport, behind ASDA (corner of New Bridge Lane and Corporation Street). This gets going quite nicely after the Mountain bikers and road riders get back at about 9.00 pm, but if you want to get a few early beers in feel free to get down early. There's never been a lock-in (!!!). |
A great place to RIDE; whatever you ride.
