Sunday saw the latest Stockport Community Cycling Club eXtra ride, our more advance rides covering 50 miles plus.

We began by working our way through Altrincham, Bowden, Dunham Massey and Warburton. Next we made our way to Lymm. From Lymm we headed on to Grappenhall passing by Thelwall and…

Culcheth and Lane Head

30 September 2012 Andy

After watching football yesterday today it was back to our usual pastime of cycling. We went out with our cycling club, Stockport Community Cycling Club to Culcheth.

We headed out over Warburton Bridge and then on through Rixton, Glazebrook and Culcheth. We had made good progress by the time we reached Culcheth and in fact…
