This Alderley Edge cycle ride represented the first Stockport Community Cycling Club Sunday ride for over 2 years. The last ones were curtailed due to the Coronavirus outbreak. Perhaps it was inevitable. The original ride leader for this, who was due to be Graham, had to step down having caught COVID! Instead, Andy S took over the ride leader duties, and I filled in as the back leader. It was a fine, though cool Sunday morning when we met at…
Ten Stockport Community Cycling Club cyclists met at Torkington Park for this cycle ride out to Bollington. Neil was leading this second group. Neither Neil, today’s ride leader, or I had managed to recce this route, but we were confident of navigating our way round!

I was leading this club ride today and Sarah was the back-leader. I had put this…

He combined a recce of his upcoming Stockport Community Cycling Club ride that he is due to lead and extended it to come up with this route for the latest of our regular Sunday outings. We met at the entrance to the Ladybrook Cycleway again. It was another cool morning as we set off racing through Cheadle Hulme. Andy later admitted that he had set off…
