Sarah and I cannot remember the last time we missed three Stockport Community Cycling Club rides in a row. It was good, therefore, to get back cycling with the club again. Sarah, however, wasn’t feeling too good before this Goostrey 2018 ride and almost didn’t make it. However, by the time we arrived home at the end of the day she was glad she had made the effort.
