The first Stockport Community Cycling Club of 2014 saw a hearty group of more than 20 cyclists turn out for a trip in to Cheshire to visit Tatton Park. We met at Gatley Rail Station on a cold and damp morning. Rain and wind were forecast – would we manage to dodge the showers? Sarah was leading the ride, and I was the back-leader. The ride set off through urban Heald Green and Handforth and on to Wilmslow. There really…
Finally we were witnessing a sustained period of sunshine in the UK in early June, and Sunday morning presented us with another fantastic sunny day for a cycle ride out in to the Cheshire lanes. This was the latest in the series of Stockport Community Cycling Club‘s eXtra Rides. Leaving from Gatley Rail station we worked our way through Wythenshawe, round Manchester Airport, the large houses of Hale Barns and towards Ashley. We cycled through Tatton Park. Then…

Starting from Wilmslow Leisure Centre we headed out through Ollerton, Lach Dennis and Rudheath. We skirted the edge of Northwich and weaved (appropriate since we were next to the River Weaver) our way through Neumann’s Flashes which forms part of Marbury Country Park. Lunch was at the café at Anderton…

When we arrived, all feeling really hungry, there was a bit of a problem – it was shut for renovations! Time for plan B…
Following our exploits around Porthmadog it was back to our regular club rides this weekend. This meant joining Stockport Community Cycling Club as we cycled to High Legh Station. Sarah was leading this ride and I was the back leader. We actually cycled the ride twice in two days since we reccied the ride on the Saturday before the real thing on the Sunday. The photos included in this blog posting are a combination of both days. As you will…
