Ten Stockport Community Cycling Club cyclists met at Torkington Park for this cycle ride out to Bollington. Neil was leading this second group. Neither Neil, today’s ride leader, or I had managed to recce this route, but we were confident of navigating our way round! Meanwhile, Sarah was resting in preparation for the Stockport 10 running event tomorrow. We are moving into winter, so even though it was relatively mild at the start, we were all ready for the rain…
This Stockport Community Cycling Club Mini Halls Route was a shorter version of one of our regular club rides – the longer Halls Route can be found here. Jim was leading the cycle ride and Sarah was the back-leader. Theoretically, I had a day when I could just ride, though I helped out with corners.

I was leading this club ride today and Sarah was the back-leader. I had put this…

Cool, but just about ok. Today, it was just Sarah and me. Leaving Great Moor, we took a route alongside the A6, starting with making our way through Stepping…
