Welsh Borders Day 7 – Chester to Stockport

30 August 2022 Andy

On Welsh Borders Day 6 we completed the coast-to-coast route. However, our cycling wasn’t yet complete, as we still had to get home. So on Welsh Borders Day 7, we cycled from Chester back to Stockport. Leaving our accommodation we went for some breakfast, and afterwards navigated our way through Chester. At Northgate, we joined NCN Route 5 along the section that formed the Chester Millennium Greenway. This was another route we had cycled on our recent visit to Chester….

Chester to Stretford

10 May 2022 Andy

Our final cycling ride on our little Chester cycling trip was the journey home, from Chester to Stretford. Sarah’s bike had been complaining a couple of days ago, and we suspected it had a cracked frame, so she was going to have to nurse it back home today. It was another fine morning as we made our way into the city centre by crossing Old Dee Bridge. Following the path alongside the river, for a short while, we were cycling…

5 October 2020 Andy

2020 has been an extraordinary year. The coronavirus pandemic that has defined it has played havoc with our calendars and planning. It resulted in the postponement of our Welsh Borders tour until next year. Fortunately, we have been able to quickly organise a couple of smaller alternative autumn cycle tours – the Bay Cycle Way, and this one. Cheshire Cycleway Day 1 would see us cycle to Little Leigh. The advantage of this Cheshire Cycleway tour was that we could cycle…

Plumley – A post-Christmas circular cycle ride

29 December 2019 Andy

After the usual too much eating and drinking at Christmas, a group of Stockport Community Cycling Club friends decided we needed to get back on our bikes. Mike P kindly organised a cycle ride from Plumley taking in the Cheshire lanes. That would do the trick! Not only that, it turned out to be one of those glorious wintry days ideal for cycling. We met at The Smoker, an inn on Chester Road. After leaving the inn car park, we…
