It was another healthy group of Stockport Community Cycling Club riders that met at Bramhall Library on a fine Sunday morning for this Middlewich 2018 longer ride. This ride has become somewhat of a May tradition for the SCCC longer rides (click here for the 2015, 2016 and 2017 versions of the ride). Today, Sarah was leading the ride, and I was the back-leader. Leaving Bramhall, we set off towards Woodford. We turned on to Lees Lane near Wilmslow. This took…
Cycle rides to Middlewich are becoming a bit of a jinx for Sarah. She had been due to lead today, but following a serious fall on yesterday’s Women on Wheels ride this was not possible. And she has form having to miss the same ride a couple of years ago (A tale of a broken foot and a ride to Middlewich). Thankfully, Andy S stepped in to lead instead, and I was the back-leader. It was going to be a challenge…

I led the Middlewich 2015 ride while Sarah sat it out – literally – for she had just broken her foot (which resulted in her being unable to cycle the JOGLE). Thankfully, that was then and this is now. So no broken foot this year meant Sarah was able to lead seventeen of us…

Of course the broken foot had happened at the worst possible time since it meant she had been unable to cycle on our epic John o’Groats to Land’s End tour. The Stockport Community Cycling Club ride this weekend had been a long…
This has not been the best of weekends for Sarah and I, or to be more exact, Sarah. Sarah and I were due to lead today’s Stockport Community Cycling Club ride to Middlewich, tomorrow and Wednesday Sarah was due to lead the club ride around Poynton Lanes, and of course it is now under three weeks before we set off on our big JOGLE cycling trip … Sadly this week Sarah broke her foot whilst on a work trip to…
