Stockport Community Cycling Club riders met at Gatley Rail Station for this cycle ride out to Timperley. Sarah would be leading the group and I was the back leader. It was a fine morning. Yes, we could still cycle in short-sleeved gear! So, we began by setting off down Northenden Road. Then we turned into Longley Lane. Leaving Longley Lane, we took a shortcut up Beech Avenue. This took us through to Northenden. When we reached Northenden we joined National…
Having missed last Sunday’s cycle ride to Birtles due to a sore ankle, things were beginning to improve for Sarah and this weekend she was up for this one. We chose a flattish route out to Ashley, hopefully, to minimise the stress that might be placed on the ankle when climbing hills. Unfortunately, the stress of pushing hard on the peddles would come in another form – cycling into a headwind. It was, thankfully, warmer weather when we set off…

This time to Dunham Town. There were three of the team – Sarah, Andy S, and Tracey – who met at Bramhall Library on a cool but sunny Sunday morning. They started the cycle ride by heading over to the A555, the Airport Relief road. Then…
It was a cold and windy Sunday, January morning that witnessed a surprisingly healthy crowd of Stockport Community Cycling Club members ready for this Wizard 2019 cycle ride. Boy, was it windy – many of us who had cycled to the start were shattered before the ride had even begun! The ride began in Timperley and headed off through Altrincham. We had only cycled a mile or so, and we had our first puncture of the day. Thankfully it would also…
