Ahead of the ‘Grand Depart’ in France later this week, Stockport Community Cycling Club members met upon a fine Saturday morning in Woodsmoor for this Tour De Stockport 2022 cycle ride. I was leading the first group, while Sarah joined the second group. For this blog post, therefore, we have combined the photos from the two groups.

Halls Route 2022 represented the latest edition of one of our classic Stockport Community Cycling Club rides. Andy S had revised the ride. He led the first of the two club rides.

The previous evening had consisted of talk about having to replace her bike – three weeks before our upcoming Hebridean Way tour.
