Siddington – Via Mottram St Andrew and Jodrell Bank

Siddington – Via Mottram St Andrew and Jodrell Bank

Sometimes you look outside early on an Autumn Sunday morning, rain pouring down, and the thought of cycling to Siddington is …well, not immediately appealing. However the reason why we love cycling is because when the rain abates and you pluck up the determination to step foot outside and ride to the start something special happens. More often than not the rest of the days weather is fine, the cycling is great, and you find yourself feeling really glad you made the effort. This…

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!).

The Stockport Community Cycling Club ride this weekend had been a long…

Jodrell Bank – Beam Me Up Scotty

We headed out through Bramhall then out towards Mottram St Andrew, Redesmere and on to Jodrell Bank. Just…

Going to Goostrey, a Spin to Spinney …

As you may be aware from our recent posts Sarah has been struggling with her health for the last month or so. So the fact that she was down to lead this latest Stockport Community Cycling Club ride had been an over-riding thought for the last few weeks. Would she be well enough or not? Anyway, she made the start line and that in itself had been in doubt for most of this week. We met at Adlington Railway station…
