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 wholesale promotional products, 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.

Given its fixed position at the top of the Rolex pyramid, and the stunning auction results from the vintage watch market continue to surface, Rolex Daytona is absolutely obvious potential watch brand when it should be on your radar this Father’s Day. We all remember the significant fanfare that came along with the first ceramic-bezel … Continue reading “The Rolex Daytona 116500LN for a Special Day”
Women’s Rolex watches are usually limited to a few different collections, but many women are starting to wear men’s best replica watches, and we think this solid gold Submarine watch looks great on any wrist. The contrasting blue aluminum 18-karat gold diving frame is so chic, but still easy to read at a quick glance. … Continue reading “Women’s Rolex Watch”
The 40mm collection is by far the largest, covering classic dates and everyone’s favorite timepiece, the Daytona.These watches are located on the average wrist, with good readability and prominence. However, as noted above, the 40mm size is quite average by industry standards, meaning that these watches are going to have plenty of wrist presence, while … Continue reading “2020 Men Rolex Watch You should Know”
It was the introduction of an automatic movement that made the Rolex daytona along the road to watch making superstars. A Zenith self-winding timepiece called El Primero powered the second generation of watches, turning the once ugly duckling of Rolex into the most coveted watch of the 1980s and 1990s.  Then, in light of Rolex’s … Continue reading “Brief Introduction for Vintage Rolex Daytona”
