Sunday was the the Stockport Community Cycling Club Peover Heath ride. This was a longer ride than we often do, being about 45 miles. Andy was the ride leader and I was the back leader for the day. The ride started by the green in Davenport. There were 15 of us when we set off. One guy (Bruce) met us in Styal and cycled with us as far as Wilmslow before heading off again. Another guy (Neil) missed us at…

Considering it was an overcast Sunday morning there was a healthy turnout of club members arrived at Wilmslow Leisure Centre from where the ride started.

Lunch was at the café at Anderton…
The ride started at Davenport Green. We headed out through Bramhall, across the grounds of Total Fitness then across the A34 and through to Styal. The route then took us to Mobberley, skirting Knutsford, then through Pickmere, Lostock Green and round to Peover Heath. The plan was to stop for lunch at The Dog in there. When we arrived, all feeling really hungry, there was a bit of a problem – it was shut for renovations! Time for plan B…
