Croft 2017 (read about the 2016 ride here) was the latest re-incarnation of a popular Stockport Community Cycling Club ride. Popular, not least because it is one of the flattest rides on the calendar. Indeed, it is so flat that we had been arriving too early for lunch, so last year had to extend it a bit to ensure we arrived a little later.

The Stockport Community Cycling Club ride to Croft via Culcheth is now a well established ride on the clubs cycling calendar.

Just nine Stockport Community Cycling Club members turned out today, perhaps put off by the weather forecast of wind and rain. And the ride wouldn’t disappoint!. As usual the ride started from outside St…
