This Stockport Community Cycling Club Alderley Circular ride was one I hadn’t planned on attending. However, the original back leader had a poorly bike, so I agreed to step in. Since I was the back leader, and Sarah is still recovering from a broken shoulder, it hopefully explains why most of the photos in this post are taken from the back!

It was another lovely sunny day too, the summer heatwave now really beginning to take hold. Our day began by seeking out a cafe where we could eat breakfast.
