I started Saturday’s Stockport Community Cycling Club ride around Derwent Reservoirs with mixed feelings. Since we were riding to the start up and over Snake Pass and then later returning to Stockport via Mam Tor, it was always going to be a challenging ride testing our fitness just before our upcoming JOGLE cycle ride (under two weeks to go now!). There was also however a little disappointment that Sarah was unable to join in on this test as she recovers from her broken foot. We…
