This was a route I recognised. Not surprising, since this route Andy S had put together was almost a carbon copy of a ride I had put together for a cycle ride out to Mottram St Andrew we had shared during coronavirus lockdown! Curious. It was a fine autumn Saturday that witnessed Stockport Community Cycling Club riders meeting at Poynton Pool car park. Graham was today’s ride leader. Sarah was the back-leader.

It was an overcast morning but hopefully, it would stay dry. Straight out of the layby we tackled our first climb. This took us up the hill at the end of Woodford Road.

Then set off towards Woodford. After Woodford we made our usual way out to the Cheshire lanes through Wilmslow and Mottram St Andrew. We headed up Wilmslow Old Road. Sarah spotted this Easter floral display … While Neil spotted this wooden owl … A…
