Middlewich – Back in the Saddle Again

Middlewich – Back in the Saddle Again

Finally, after what seemed an eternity, for Sarah a ride to Middlewich on Sunday afternoon represented the opportunity to get back in the saddle again following her broken foot (which had happened just before the club ride to Middlewich strangely enough!). Of course the broken foot had happened at the worst possible time since it meant she had been unable to cycle on our epic John o’Groats to Land’s End tour. The Stockport Community Cycling Club ride this weekend had been a long…

Back to Civilisation – Cycling to Goostrey

Back to Civilisation – Cycling to Goostrey

This time last week we were cycling to Land’s End and completing our JOGLE cycle tour. That tour had included many days of cycling down lanes through Scotland, England and Wales that were completely unknown to us – it was great. This week however it has been difficult at times to get back in to the regular routine both at home and at work. And today it was back to another familiar – a Sunday cycle ride with Stockport Community Cycling…

Sunday 10th November was the Stockport Community Cycling Club eXtra ride to Foxwist Green. The eXtra rides tend to be slightly longer than normal Sunday rides.

Scholar Green – Bleeding Good Ride!

Scholar Green – Bleeding Good Ride!

Sunday was an SCCC eXtra ride to Scholar Green, which was being led by Andy. The ride started at Wilmslow Leisure Centre.

Then headed out to Swettenham,  although the ford their looked deep – none where brave enough to try it! The ride went on through Arclid,  Fourlanes End,…

Cranage – Floods and a Big Pig

Cranage – Floods and a Big Pig

Sunday saw us out cycling with Stockport Community Cycling Club on a ride starting from Wilmslow and heading out towards Cranage. Andy was leading the group and I was the back leader, making sure we didn’t lose anyone! We took an interesting route out to Cranage, along some lanes which were new to me. Although there had been some rain recently, I was still suprised to have to cycle through two flooded sections of road! We stopped briefly at Redesmere…
