The SCCC Eaton Ride 2017 was on Sunday. We met in the lay-by outside The Deanwater Hotel. We set off along Lees Lane and made our way towards Prestbury. We cycled through Prestbury village. Leaving Prestbury, we headed towards Broken Cross. Heading towards Gawsworth. We then turned into Marton Lane and made our way through Marton and Newsbank whilst making our way to Eaton. We were following NCN Route 55. We stopped at the Waggon and Horses pub for lunch….
Cycle rides to Middlewich are becoming a bit of a jinx for Sarah. She had been due to lead today, but following a serious fall on yesterday’s Women on Wheels ride this was not possible.

It was going to be a challenge…

I was leading the ride, and Sarah was the back-leader (and chief photographer!). Leaving Bramhall we set off through Woodford. And on to Mottram St Andrew.

A healthy number of Stockport Community Cycling Club members met at Torkington Park for Alec’s ‘Macclesfield Lumps’ ride. Sarah and I had been on a two hour run as part of our Conwy Half-Marathon training the previous day and were still feeling the miles in our legs. The talk of hills and lumps suggested we were going to struggle. The route began by heading out to Bollington. From Middlewood we climbed up through Higher Poynton and on to Pott Shrigley….
