Saturday was the SCCC Cuerden Valley Ride. I have to admit that when I got up on Saturday morning and I could see slushy snow on the ground outside, my first thought was I don’t want to go cycling in that! As the ride didn’t appear to have been cancelled and because I was the official back leader for the ride, I thought I would have to at least drive to the start of the ride. So rather reluctantly I…
The SCCC Ride to Lymm started today from the TPT (Trans Pennine Trail) car park at the end of Atlantic Street, Broadheath, Altrincham. Today’s ride leader was the very lovely Gill. The back leader was meant to be Andy P but he was busy working on his OU assignment, so I stepped in and said that I would be the back leader instead. However when I looked at the weather forecast the night before, I wasn’t looking forward to it…
Sunday was the SCCC Peover Heath Ride.We met at Davenport Green. It was a rather chilly but sunny day which saw 20 riders start the ride. Andy P was leading the ride and I was the back leader for the day. We had received a text from one of the club to say that they wouldn’t be able to make the ride as it wasn’t going to be raining (all the rides in 2016 had been wet thus far). I…
Today I should have been leading an SCCC ride to Culcheth but it was cancelled due to the weather. Instead three of us went for a snowy walk around Toddbrook Reservoir. We parked in Whaley Bridge in the car park near the River Goyt. We started out along Reservoir Road. On the right there was a little lake, Brookfield Nature Pond, which was frozen over. We had a look out across Toddbrook Reservoir before continuing on along the road. …
Today saw the SCCC ride to Chadkirk. As the normal ride was a similar route to another ride that we had done recently, Neil (the ride leader for the day) took us on a nice new ride. We met at Torkington Park. It was a reasonable turn out consider that it was damp again! We had a slightly delayed start as we waited for John to turn up – he was the back leader today. The route took us out…
