This Lymm 2022 cycle ride represented the first time Stockport Community Cycling Club members were meeting together following the sad death of our remarkable club leader, Jim Court. It was kind of apt that Gill and I were leading the two rides. We joined the club on the same ride, we are two of the longer serving members, and for us both, the contribution of Jim has significantly impacted our lives. It was a fine Saturday morning when we met…
We were back to the colder weather as winter draws to a close. Sarah had once again been out for a long-run and we considered not cycling. In the end, we were glad we did. This cycle route out to Little Bollington provided a few pleasant surprises. After leaving home, we began by weaving our way through Davenport and Cheadle. We joined NCN Route 558 and followed this for a while. At Heald Green, we picked up the Airport Orbital…

They started the cycle ride by heading over to the A555, the Airport Relief road. Then…

Sunday was the SCCC High Legh Ride. It is not a ride that we have done for a few year but which started from Gatley Railway Station. We soon picked up the part of the route that we had used the previous day of the Manchester Airport Afternoon ride. Having passed the edge of the airport and been through the tunnels under the runway, we turned off and headed out towards Ashley. We turned off just before Tatton Park to…
