Stockport Community Cycling Club members may remember that at the Annual Club Lunch 2018 we clubbed together and purchased for Jim an Artist on a Bike creative workshop session. Moreover, Andy S’s colleagues had presented him with a place on an Artist on a Bike creative workshop session as a leaving present.

Neston – A Cycle Ride to Burton Marsh

7 November 2017 Andy

Friday Since we didn’t leave Stockport until just after 12pm, we were hungry as soon as we arrived. We made our way over to Chester Cathedral in the hope that they had a cafe. Thankfully there was a refectory in the old monks dining hall so we tucked into…

Running Schedule 2015

5 March 2015 Andy

As you may be aware that whilst most of our posts are cycling related Sarah and I also like to do a bit of running too. We don’t publish too many posts since most of our running is fairly mundane – and its not easy to take photos when running! However we have a few events coming up throughout the year and thought you might be interested in our running schedule for 2015. Sunday 8th March – Trafford 10k This popular event is…
