It is likely to be awhile the coronavirus lockdown restrictions are lifted enough for the Stockport Community Cycling Club cycle rides to begin again. In the meantime, Sarah and I continue to enjoy finding routes ourselves. This weekend we headed out to Nether Alderley. It was a fine Saturday morning. For a change, we started by heading towards Poynton via Woodford Road. This took us over the Manchester Relief Road. Then through Poynton. And on towards Adlington. When we reached…

Bollington and Dean Row – When the Legs Aren’t Working

22 April 2020 Andy

The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has brought major changes to the lifestyle all of us are currently able to lead. For some, these times have brought hardship and tragedy.

Manchester Airport and the Bypass

14 February 2019 Andy

Saturday morning brought another fine group of Stockport Community Cycling Club cyclists to Torkington Park. This was a new route to the airport and back along the new bypass put together by Tracey. Although cool as we set off through the park, we were looking forward to some fine cycling weather according to the weather forecasts. Leaving the park, we cycled up Torkington Road. Then joined NCN Route 55 and the Middlewood Way. We followed this for the next few…
