This time last week we were cycling to Land’s End and completing our JOGLE cycle tour. That tour had included many days of cycling down lanes through Scotland, England and Wales that were completely unknown to us – it was great. This week however it has been difficult at times to get back in to the regular routine both at home and at work. And today it was back to another familiar – a Sunday cycle ride with Stockport Community Cycling…
Sunday was the the Stockport Community Cycling Club Peover Heath ride. This was a longer ride than we often do, being about 45 miles. Andy was the ride leader and I was the back leader for the day. The ride started by the green in Davenport. There were 15 of us when we set off. One guy (Bruce) met us in Styal and cycled with us as far as Wilmslow before heading off again.

We left Wilmslow and cycled off down to the new(ish) Alderley Edge bypass and cycled along the cycle path there. About half way along we turn off near Nether Alderley and headed along along…
