This wasn’t a cycle ride to Waterloo in the Netherlands (now Belgium), nor did we sing Abba’s tribute to the famous battle. And no, we didn’t visit the famous London rail station, though we did pass nearby Waterloo station. This is an area near Crosby in Sefton. We began by cycling along the Lower Promenade in Southport. Then picking up Marine Drive and following NCN Route 62. This, of course, forms a section of the Trans Pennine Trail (TPT) which…
It was a cold Saturday morning that greeted the first group of Stockport Community Cycling Club riders arriving at Woodsmoor for this cycle ride out to Poynton.

In many ways, this year was slightly different. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, there was no lunch last year, and indeed, for a period of time, no cycling either. So, this year’s event also had a feeling of ‘coming…
Below you will find our Hebridean Way Itinerary. In spring 2022 a team of four adventurous cyclists – Andy P, Andy S, Sarah and Mike – will set off on this island-hopping cycling tour. The Hebridean Way is a 184-mile on-road route (or 224 miles when including cycling to the start from Castlebay and then to Stornoway after the finish), through the remote and spectacular islands of the Outer Hebrides. Ten islands, six causeways, two ferries (not including the ones…
