Manchester Airport Circular 2022

2 September 2022 Andy

This Manchester Airport Circular 2022 cycle ride seemed a familiar route. Yet, it wasn’t as familiar as we thought. We had previously cycled a paired-down version of this route as an afternoon ride and an alternative route starting from Bramhall. We met in Heald Green on a pleasant August morning and set off along Finney Lane. After navigating our way through Heald Green we reached Handforth and cycled down Clay Lane towards Styal. When we turned into Moss Lane we…

Manchester Airport Circular

2 March 2022 Andy

The previous week had witnessed extreme weather conditions. Indeed, as a result, we had called off a recce of this Manchester Airport Circular cycle ride.

After cycling along Ladybrook valley, at the other end of the cycleway, we…

Over Tabley

9 September 2020 Andy

This weeks lockdown cycle ride to Over Tabley saw a reduced number of riders out. Tracey had family over, Neil was working, and Sarah was still struggling with her back. So, we were left with the three Andy’s. It was another overcast morning with the threat of rain. We met in Bramhall at the entrance on to the airport relief road. So, of course, it was down on to the relief road we went. We followed the relief road for…

Lymm and High Legh

30 July 2020 Andy

Neil had put together this route for our latest COVID-19 lockdown cycle ride. Starting from Bramhall, it would take us into Cheshire to Lymm and High Legh. It was an overcast but generally fine Sunday morning that saw five of us set off along the A555, the Airport Relief Road. We followed the A555 for four miles. Then turned off and made our way around the perimeter of Manchester Airport. After navigating our way around the edge of Wythenshawe we…
