A Cheshire Sunday Cycle Ride out to Jodrell Bank

A Cheshire Sunday Cycle Ride out to Jodrell Bank

This Cheshire Sunday cycle ride was our second socially distanced small group cycle ride. This weeks route was organised by Neil. We have been having some interchangeable weather recently. We weren’t sure what today would bring. We met at the junction of Hall Moss Lane and Blossoms Lane. At least the weather started out ok. Initially, we followed one of our usual routes out into Cheshire. This took us along Lees Lane. And then into Mill Lane. Next, we turned…

Sarah was leading the ride, but when we arrived at Wilmslow Leisure Centre and there was already a healthy gathering of club members … and the numbers kept growing … it quickly became clear that I would be leading a ride too! Soon there were over thirty of us. The photos are…

Siddington – Via Mottram St Andrew and Jodrell Bank

Siddington – Via Mottram St Andrew and Jodrell Bank

Sometimes you look outside early on an Autumn Sunday morning, rain pouring down, and the thought of cycling to Siddington is …well, not immediately appealing. However the reason why we love cycling is because when the rain abates and you pluck up the determination to step foot outside and ride to the start something special happens. More often than not the rest of the days weather is fine, the cycling is great, and you find yourself feeling really glad you made the effort. This…
