Old school BMX bike fans converged on Crewe this September, for an annual social ride in and around the town.

BMXers gathered for breakfast at Crewe Truck Stop Café, off Weston Road, this September for the annual 'Crewe and Cheshire old school ride out' event, organised by the 'Crewe and Cheshire old school BMX club'.

They rode from the Cafe to stop for liquid refreshment at The Raven (Brookhouse Drive), The Woodside (Valley Road, Wistaston) and The Rising Sun Inn (Middlewich Road, Wistaston). 

The BMX event was open to all, and bikers ranged in age from children to adults (Jonathan White).

Participants then followed the Crewe-Nantwich Greenway cycleway to the Shanaze Reade BMX track on Victoria Avenue for a best BMX bike competition and children's BMX race. 

The ride finished with a return to The Raven. They rode racing and freestyle vintage BMX bikes from the 1980s as well as modern BMX bikes.

BMX brands represented included Diamond Back, Dyno, Falcon, Giant, GT, Haro, Hutch, Mongoose, Raleigh, Redline, Schwinn, and Skyway. Size of bikes ranged from a child's 12-inch wheeler to a 29-inch wheel cruiser.
