I have been struggling with a sore shin for the last week or so, making walking painful. So, we decided upon a shortened ride this week, and since I needed to recce the upcoming Stockport Community Cycling Club‘s Tour De Stockport ride, it seemed a good idea to combine the two. It was a lovely sunny Sunday morning when five of us met near Woodsmoor station. Our route began with us weaving our way through the streets of Woodsmoor and…

It had been somewhat warmer last May! This year Sarah and I met Andy S and Neil on a cool Sunday morning at the Ladybridge Road end of Ladybrook Cycleway. After cycling along Ladybrook valley, at the other end of the cycleway, we…
