A smaller than usual turnout of Stockport Community Cycling Club members met at Frodsham for the Delamere 2019 ride. Perhaps, many were put off by the predicted 50-60mph winds. Sarah was today’s ride leader, while I was the back-leader. You will note that the majority of the photos (most of which were taken by myself), are from behind the riders – it was just too windy to get ahead of any riders on this ride! Indeed, as we left Frodsham and…
It was a cold but thankfully sunny winter morning we arrived in Frodsham for the Delamere 2018 ride. This is always a popular ride in the Stockport Community Cycling Club calendar (you can view last year’s review here). In spite of the plunging temperatures over the weekend, there was still a healthy turnout. Thankfully, the numbers meant we were able to stay in one group for a change. Just as well, since Sarah and I had forgotten our Garmins! Andy…

We set off and went out through Alvaney, climbing out of Frodsham on a rather steep hill. As we approached Delamere down a track, one of the group got a puncture, which delayed us slightly. However quickly John sprang into action and it…
Saturday (1st June) was the SCCC Chester Zoo ride, which started out near Chester, A group of us decided that it was a good to cycle to the start of the ride and then obviously(?) back home again. We set off at 7 am and then cycled through Frodsham to Mollington (where the ride officially started from). This was about 40 miles. The official ride was basically a figure of eight which involved us cycling along the Shropshire Union Canal…
