Abbotsford Park Road Club

Activities

We support and encourage cycle racing and touring at all levels.

Club Runs

Every Sunday morning our club run sets off from Handforth. We typically cover about 70 miles with a short lunch stop to return by late afternoon.

History

The club was created in Manchester in 1942 by the amalgamation of 6 other Manchester cycling clubs to keep local cycling alive during the war years. It was seen as a temporary measure and at that time no one expected that we would still be thriving into the 21st. century.

Alumni

Our most celebrated member is Graham Jones, who joined the club as a 15-year old in 1972 and went on to a glittering racing career, riding in 5 Tours de France.

Open 10

We organize an annual open 10mile TT on J2/1 which is usually run on Easter monday bank holiday. The 2011 event was held on Mon 25th April and was won by Adam Duggleby with 21:25. Full results
