The weather is changing. As jackets are back, we are now clearly moving from summer to autumn, and meeting at Woodsmoor for this Stockport Community Cycling Club ride out to Woodbank Park was a chilly eye opener That said, while it was a cool morning, the weather was fine, and it promised to warm up later in the day.

Today saw the SCCC ride to Chadkirk. As the normal ride was a similar route to another ride that we had done recently, Neil (the ride leader for the day) took us on a nice new ride.

Our first port of call was the tent to collect our race numbers. This race is rather different to the Conwy Half Marathon in that race is not such a serious business. There was a fabulous commentator there called ‘Tom Potson’ who provided a…
