It’s been a few weeks since I last rode with Stockport Community Cycling Club, and in the meantime, gradually the cooler Autumn weather is taking over. For this cycle ride out to Daisy Nook in Oldham, Tracey was leading the ride and I was the back leader. Sarah, was still unavailable, hence most of the photos are from behind … which is pretty much the only view you get as the back leader! We met at Woodley. Our route began…
This Stockport Community Cycling Club Alderley Circular ride was one I hadn’t planned on attending. However, the original back leader had a poorly bike, so I agreed to step in.

First, we went for some breakfast at Cafe Zoot. We took some final photos in front of the cathedral. Then we were on our way again … Our route began by navigating our way through the streets of Lincoln. We joined NCN Route 1 and this took…
