All week, the weather forecast for Saturday hadn’t looked good. So, it was quite surprising to see fourteen cyclists arrive at Woodsmoor for this Stockport Community Cycling Club Tour De Stockport 2019 adventure. I was leading this ride, and Sarah would be the back-leader. As we started the ride and cycled through Woodmoor it was dry. We crossed over the railway line using the bridge at the end of Cromley Road. This took us into Bramhall. We cycled through Bramhall…
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.

We then turned right ad followed the track running parallel to the motorway. We turned off and…

Thankfully, we had quite a few leaders out today, and I would lead the second group with Sarah being my back-leader for this group. First, however, there was a little ceremony…
Stockport Community Cycling Club‘s first ride of 2018 was to Bruntwood Hall. Sarah was due to lead this ride, while I would be the back-leader. We met in Woodsmoor on a cold Saturday morning, but the colder weather didn’t seem to put off members as they just kept on arriving. It quickly became clear that we would need to split into two groups as we eventually reached thirty-one club members. Therefore, I would lead one group, and Sarah the other. …
