It’s been a few weeks since I last rode with Stockport Community Cycling Club, and in the meantime, gradually the cooler Autumn weather is taking over. For this cycle ride out to Daisy Nook in Oldham, Tracey was leading the ride and I was the back leader.

Alderley Circular

Alderley Circular

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.

For Lincolnshire Lost Lanes Day 4, however, we were going to have to do a bit of climbing! The weather once again was looking good as we left Louth. We immediately began by heading into the Lincolnshire Wolds AONB. We made our way through Hallington. There were some fabulous views. After 10 miles we quickly passed through South Willingham,…

Lincolnshire Lost Lanes Day 3 – Lincoln to Louth

Lincolnshire Lost Lanes Day 3 – Lincoln to Louth

Having arrived in Lincoln the previous day, today would take us over halfway through our cycle tour. For Lincolnshire Lost Lanes Day 3 we would leave historic Lincoln and cycle over to Louth. First, we went for some breakfast at Cafe Zoot. We took some final photos in front of the cathedral. Then we were on our way again … Our route began by navigating our way through the streets of Lincoln. We joined NCN Route 1 and this took…
