Bury CTC is an Informal Group belonging to Manchester & District CTC (formerly Manchester DA) - part of the national Cyclists' Touring Club (now known as Cycling UK) which encompasses six Groups or Sections around Greater Manchester and beyond including neighbours Bolton and Rochdale.
Bury is situated about 9 miles (14.5 km) north of Manchester city centre. Great cycling can be had in areas within easy reach, such as the Ribble Valley, Forest of Bowland, the Lancashire Plain, Fylde, Calder Valley, South Pennines, and the lanes of Cheshire.
ABOUT US
Our main activity is a regular programme of Sunday bike rides covering a distance of between 40 and 100 miles depending on the season and destination. We have two groups ‘A’ and ‘B’. ‘A’ group rides are for the fitter rider, ‘B’ group rides are at an easier pace. If you are a relative beginner, ‘B’ group rides are recommended.
Experience has shown us that it is best that you don't join one of our club runs until you have completed a ride of at least 30 miles beforehand. Once you have attained this level of fitness you will get much more pleasure out of group riding. There is no charge and you do not have to join the CTC until you have had a few rides with us. Only after this do you need to become a member. Click here for how to join.
SUNDAY BIKE RIDES
We have riders out on a Sunday of all age groups - but mostly male, mostly old. However like most cycling clubs we particularly want to make welcome more younger cyclists and lady members. Whatever your age, if you enjoy cycling, have already ridden 30 miles, and want to meet with other like-minded people, you are welcome to join us on any club run. We meet outside the Wilko store at the east end of The Rock in Bury town centre.
Every quarter we publish our list of forthcoming rides. Click here to see the Runs List.
CYCLING EVENTS
Also we hold a various programme of activities to promote cycling. These include camping, youth hostel weekends, cycling holidays and occasional invitation rides.
CAFES AND TEAROOMS
As all our rides involve cafe stops we have included a list of cafes and tearooms visited. Click the link top left to see them. Please inform us of any updates, changes or additions.
CLUB MEETINGS
Every quarter we hold our Club meeting at The Trackside Pub, Bury where the runs list is planned and any issues raised over the past months are discussed. Everybody is welcome to attend, please come along. Click here for the date and venue of our next meeting and to view minutes of past meetings and to view the Secretary's reports.

We witnessed Geneva play host to a handful of replica watch auctions last week, with the likes of Christie’s, Phillips, and Sotheby’s descending on the city and dropping some hammers. As the dust settled, it is obvious that the fake vintage Rolex reigns supreme, with the rolex Daytona Ultimatum sale at Phillips selling all 32 … Continue reading “Best things to Replica vintage and modern Omega since Bond”
I forget the first time that I saw a Patek Philippe watch, but I still remember one of the first, and it gave a deep impression. Several years ago, there was a client that I had worked with in the past who had consigned some smaller pieces. He was always friendly and kind-hearted, and he … Continue reading “Shocking News of Patek Philippe Replica Watch”
The world branded Rolex sought to make a top-shelf version of the Rolex Submariner diver’s watch when they developed the Yacht-Master in 1992. Rumor has it that Rolex wasn’t quite brave enough to make any big changes to the design of the Submariner itself, resulting in the Yacht-Master being adding to the catalog as its … Continue reading “Directions of the Luxury Rolex Yacht-Master Bezel Usage”

Some are not as special about pure authenticity since collector-quality vintage Rolex models become much harder to come by. These collectors just prefer the look of an astronomical vintage piece. This fuels the burgeoning market for recreations. Tempus Machina has pieces made to look like extremely coveted references from the replica Rolex’s back catalog, fashioned … Continue reading “TEMPUS MACHINA RE-CREATES THE ROLEX GMT-MASTER REPLCIA WATCH”
