This Tatton Park 2018 cycle ride was the latest in what has become a bit of tradition, a beginning/end of year cycle ride to Tatton Park – see here for 2014, 2016 and 2017 versions. It brought down the curtain on another fine year of cycling. It was a cool and damp morning that saw a large group of Stockport Community Cycling Club cyclists meet at Gatley Rail station, eager to burn off a few of those Christmas calories. Sarah was…
While we often cycle through Tatton Park, this new route, which Neil had put together, would bring us to the park via Lymm. It was a strong turnout of Stockport Community Cycling Club members that arrived at Timperley Sports Club on a hot summer Sunday in July.

I swapped with Neil, who was due to be the back leader and he instead became Andy’s wing man and was chief corner marker. We met up in the car park for Gatley Station. There were 23 of us altogether. We left Gatley…
