Welsh Borders Day 7 – Chester to Stockport

Welsh Borders Day 7 – Chester to Stockport

On Welsh Borders Day 6 we completed the coast-to-coast route. However, our cycling wasn’t yet complete, as we still had to get home. So on Welsh Borders Day 7, we cycled from Chester back to Stockport. Leaving our accommodation we went for some breakfast, and afterwards navigated our way through Chester. At Northgate, we joined NCN Route 5 along the section that formed the Chester Millennium Greenway. This was another route we had cycled on our recent visit to Chester….

Chester to Stretford

Chester to Stretford

Our final cycling ride on our little Chester cycling trip was the journey home, from Chester to Stretford. Sarah’s bike had been complaining a couple of days ago, and we suspected it had a cracked frame, so she was going to have to nurse it back home today. It was another fine morning as we made our way into the city centre by crossing Old Dee Bridge. Following the path alongside the river, for a short while, we were cycling…

After following the canal for 5 miles or so, we left it at Broadheath and joined, NCN Route 62, the Trans Pennine Trail. We then left the TPT just…

Cheshire Cycleway Day 2 – Little Leigh to Chester

It had been a cold night. So, it was a cool but thankfully dry and sunny morning when we left Little Leigh. Our Cheshire Cycleway Day 2 route would take us to Chester. Our route today would be gentle and reasonably short. So, without rushing and taking our time, we left the Hollybush Inn around mid-morning. Having stayed slightly off-route, our first section of cycling meant picking up Regional Cycle Route 70 again. Back on course, our route began by…

Delamere 2019 – Blown Off Course

Delamere 2019 – Blown Off Course

A smaller than usual turnout of Stockport Community Cycling Club members met at Frodsham for the Delamere 2019 ride. Perhaps, many were put off by the predicted 50-60mph winds. Sarah was today’s ride leader, while I was the back-leader. You will note that the majority of the photos (most of which were taken by myself), are from behind the riders – it was just too windy to get ahead of any riders on this ride! Indeed, as we left Frodsham and…
