This ride to Davenham, which Leslie called a ‘Cheshire meander’ was the first Stockport Community Cycling Club ride she has led. We met in a layby near the Chelford roundabout on a cool and pleasant Autumn Sunday morning. There was a healthy turnout of club members. Our route began by heading down Peover Lane towards Peover Heath. We then cycled through Blackden Heath and towards Goostrey. We joined NCN Route 573. In Goostrey, we took a short break by the local…
Sunday’s Delamere 2016 ride was a late addition to the Stockport Community Cycling Club ride calendar due to one of our colleagues being unable to lead a new ride he had planned. Thankfully Sarah agreed to step in with this Delamere 2016 ride. I was the back-leader. We had, of course cycled this route last year (Not Quite Cotebrook) when we had struggled to find a lunch stop due to Mother’s Day. This year it was Easter! It was a…

The Stockport Community Cycling Club ride this weekend had been a long…

Since it was Mother’s Day we decided that our usual lunch stop for the ride Cotebrook Shire Horse Centre would be too busy to accommodate our longer ride numbers, usually around 15-16 riders, so we decided to look for…
Sunday 10th November was the Stockport Community Cycling Club eXtra ride to Foxwist Green. The eXtra rides tend to be slightly longer than normal Sunday rides. This week we met in the car park near to Wilmslow Leisure Centre. It was a chilly but bright morning. We left Wilmslow and cycled off down to the new(ish) Alderley Edge bypass and cycled along the cycle path there. About half way along we turn off near Nether Alderley and headed along along…
