The Halls Route has become a regular event on the Stockport Community Cycling Club calendar. Sadly Sarah hasn’t been feeling too well for the last few days and wasn’t up to tackling this ride. A shame since she has never cycled the Halls Route …yet. A healthy group (pun intended) of club members met at the bottom of Vernon Park. Leaving the park we set off in the direction of Bredbury and passed the first of Stockport’s halls – Bredbury…
Andy had realised that Stockport Community Cycling Club didn’t actually do a ride around Stockport itself and he decided that should change. The answer was the Stockport Circular Ride that we did on Saturday! We met near Woodsmoor Station. The route took us along the Fred Perry Way and then into Bramhall Park. Through Cheadle Hulme, then Bruntwood Park. Just after leaving Bruntwood Park, one of the group had a puncture, so there were some emergency repairs before we continued….

The snowfall the previous evening had made conditions quite poor and although the weather forecast promised warmer conditions as those brave enough cycled and skidded their way to the start at Cheadle Baths many of us were wondering whether to continue. Sarah and I were certainly seriously considering turning round and going back home. The ride had already been altered once to a more local ride due to inclement weather conditions. Thankfully it was altered…
Yes, we realise that if we are being pedantic then we might suggest that Winter hasn’t actually arrived yet. Nonetheless if it is good enough for shops to advertise Christmas in July then the precedent has been set and it is good enough for us. The germ of the idea for the Winter Training Bus began following our ride to the start of the SCCC Lymm ride on Saturday which took in part of the route of our old E2E…
It was a lovely sunny day, although a little chilly to start with. The Stockport Community Cycling Club ride officially started from Atlantic Street in Broadheath. However we decided to cycle to the starting point. Our route took us out through Cheadle (where we caught up with another member from the club), Gatley, Wythenshawe and Timperley. By the time we reached the official start point we had cycled 11 miles. The club ride route followed out along the Transpennine Trail…
