Handforth – A Gentle Cycle Ride in Troubling Times

Handforth – A Gentle Cycle Ride in Troubling Times

These are troubling times in the UK, and indeed around the world, as coronavirus takes a grip and governments implement lockdowns in their attempts to stop the spread. Thankfully, for the moment, we are still allowed daily exercise. Sarah and I, therefore, decided on a cycle ride to Handforth for our daily exercise. The route was an extended version of a ride I had created for Stockport Community Cycling Club. We set off making our way down Tenement Lane. We…

Towards Pott Shrigley – From Poynton

Towards Pott Shrigley – From Poynton

With Stockport Community Cycling Club cancelling all rides for the foreseeable future, and the coronavirus lockdown now coming into force, Sarah and I had been missing our cycling opportunities. Thankfully, we are being allowed one exercise session per day. Sarah and I decided to use this one to go cycling.

We crossed over the railway line using the bridge at the end of Cromley Road. This took us into Bramhall. We cycled through Bramhall…

This took us along Wilmslow Road past the Deanwater. We then turned into Lees Lane. And then Mill Lane. We cycled through…

Halls Route 2018

Halls Route 2018

The Stockport Community Cycling Club Halls Route 2018 was a modified version of a regular SCCC ride, though interestingly, it hasn’t actually been on the calendar for the last few years (see here for the 2015 edition). The route passes by, or near to, a number of historically interesting old halls within the Stockport borough. We met at Ceracycloan, where staff were interested in showing us a few new cycling items. Then it was on to the ride itself. Graham…
