What a ride.. Last Saturday’s club ride out of @velo.edge was an absolute belter, with 25+ riders turning out to join @Rapha Ambassador Dan Jones for the @Rapha_Manchester Monthly Club Ride.
Rolling out from Alderley Edge, Dan and the RCC Manchester ride leaders guided the group through quiet Cheshire lanes up towards the killer mile that is Mow Cop, before looping back to the store.
Strong legs, great company, and proper good vibes all round.
Big thanks to @daaanjj , @velo.edge , our @rapha_rcc ride leaders, and to everyone who came along and made it such a cracking day.
