It was a fine autumn Sunday that saw some thirty Stockport Community Cycling Club members meet at Bramhall Library for a cycle ride to Lower Withington.

We decided that it would be wise to split into two groups. Sarah would lead one group, and I would lead the other. The photos in this blog are an amalgamation from the two rides.

Leaving Bramhall we set off for Mottram St Andrew.

We turned onto Mill Lane.

And then we began the main climb of the day when we turned onto Wilmslow Old Road.

The climb continued steadily past Over Alderley.

We were not the only ones exercising around the lanes around Macclesfield. This particular day brought the Macclesfield Half Marathon to the area.

Continuing on we made our way to Henbury.

And then on to Redesmere lake, where we took a short break.

Next, we continued on through Siddington.

And on along Catchpenny Lane towards Jodrell Bank.

Our lunch break was at Planet Pavilion Cafe, at the Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre. It is a lunch stop we regularly visit.

After lunch, we headed up Batemill Lane, and a quick dip.

We cycled on towards Great Warford.

And then through the edges of Wilmslow.

 

Finally, we cycled through Handforth.

And then back through Bramhall again.

When we arrived back at Bramhall Library we had completed nearly 33 miles. This had been another enjoyable ride around the lanes of Cheshire.
