ABOUT OUR CYCLING CLUB

SK6 Spinners is a friendly, social cycling club founded in 2016 in Marple by a group of enthusiastic road cyclists. We’ve grown into a vibrant club offering something for riders of all abilities and interests. From social road rides and longer endurance days and shorter evening spins, there’s always something to get involved in. Our Thursday evening summer rides are a particular favourite, often finishing with a drink and a chat at Marple Traders. Other Social events take place during the year. Whether you’re looking to ride further, explore new routes, improve your fitness or enjoy great company on two wheels, *SK6 Spinners has a ride for you.*

CLUB HISTORY

SK6 Spinners was set up in 2016 by a group of enthusiastic road cyclists. Membership grew over the following 3 years with group rides regularly having 12 to 20 riders. Thursday evening rides in the summer were so popular we often had 3 different groupings to cater for speed. The post ride socialising at Marple Beer Traders has become a tradition for the Thursday evening rides. It’s a great opportunity to meet the members and learn more about the riding opportunities. Covid lockdown saw a change in in members riding habits. At first only solo rides were permitted. Then, as lockdown began to ease, maximum groups of 6 riders, socially distanced, began to flourish. Once lockdown was completely lifted, our members remained cautious about large gatherings. Covid was still a threat through 2022. SK6 Spinners is starting to bounce back as a vibrant club. In addition to Road riding we have a number of keen gravel riders and even an occasional mountain bike outing. We’re setting up groupings to cater for off road, social road riding, endurance road riding and shorter evening rides. Members have the opportunity to join as many rides as they wish and as the riding season progresses there will be more varied rides on offer.
