Off To See The Wizard 2015

Off To See The Wizard 2015

When Sarah and I left home this morning to cycle to the start of the Stockport Community Cycling Club Off to See the Wizard ride there was a point when we both doubted whether our legs had the strength to complete it.

Winter Wonderland Walk

Winter Wonderland Walk

Today I should have been leading an SCCC Ride to Tatton Park.  However it had to be cancelled due to the weather – the possibility of ice being too great. After we had waiting at the cycle ride start, just in case anyone hadn’t get the message and turned up to ride, it was pleasing that everyone had obviously got the message as no one turned up! This did mean that we had some unexpected free time today, so why…
