The Janus Road Club is a cycling club based around the Stockport area
of Greater Manchester, England, offering both social and competitive activities
for it's members.
Club Runs
These take place every Sunday departing from outside the Rising Sun Hotel,
Hazel Grove, Stockport at about 10.00am. Depending on the time of year,
the runs cover between 30 and 60 miles usually with a short lunch stop
and returning normally by mid afternoon.
When a race is taking place within a reasonable distance the club run
will generally head out to that race.
Meetings
The club meets once a month to conduct club business and have a friendly
get together. Meetings are held on the second Wednesday of the month at
the Navigation Hotel, Hyde Road, Woodley, Stockport starting at 8.00pm.
Social
On the social side the main event of the year is the Annual Dinner Dance
and Prize Presentation which took place at the Alma
Lodge, Stockport on 2nd February 2008.
History
The Janus was formed in 1953. Following repeated attempts by the founder
members whilst in another club to have ladies accepted into that club,
and in spite of the passing of a resolution to allow this, opposition
was such that the proposal was reversed. The 9 founder members of the
Janus eventually felt that their only way forward was to resign en masse
and start a club of their own.
Membership
Current membership is £12.00 for
Senior Racing Members
(over 18), £4.00 for juniors and £5.00 social members.
All members receive a monthly newsletter.
