One of the stories of our cycle ride out to Liverpool had been dodging the rain. Today, we were hopeful that the weather would have a smaller role, as we cycled back from Liverpool to Stretford. Certainly, it was cool but thankfully fine as we left Albert Dock. First, we went looking for some breakfast. So, we followed the River Mersey for a short while. Then headed towards the city centre. Nourished, we followed local route 7 for our route…

We would be making this cycling trip with our friends Andy and Mike. Indeed, the beginning of the ride was leaving the drive of Mike’s home! Weatherwise, we weren’t sure what was going to happen.

Soon we arrived at the Mersey…

It’s a couple of years since Sarah and I joined SCCC on this ride however (though blogged about the 2013 version here). Last year we were running in the Loch Ness marathon and missed it. So like everyone else we were looking forward to another cycle ride along the River Mersey. As usual we met at Otterspool Park. It was an overcast though…
