Sunday was the SCCC Jodrell Bank 2018 Ride. We met in the car park near to Wilmslow Leisure Centre. Andy and I had cycled to the start and by the time we arrived, I felt exhausted! More and more people kept arriving and in the end there were over 30 of us – too many to go in a single group, so we had to split into two groups. Andy Shaw the ride leader took one group with Andy Sykes…
Sunday was the annual SCCC Tatton Park ride, the last ride of 2017. I had been due to lead the ride but having been unwell for most of December, Andy volunteered to lead it in my place.

We got there early as you had to collect your race numbers. First…

The ray looks like it has a smiley face as it said hello! We found a big tank containing tortoise as well. There were…
