The end of 2015 will be remembered as being rather wet, and indeed some of the recent Stockport Community Cycling Club rides have been wet too – e.g. the rides Around Poynton, Lyme Park, and Ashton Canal. Would the start of 2016 be any different? Unfortunately, if this Tatton Park 2016 ride is anything to go by – sadly not.
