Andy S put together the route for this Sunday Alderley Edge recce cycle ride. He combined a recce of his upcoming Stockport Community Cycling Club ride that he is due to lead and extended it to come up with this route for the latest of our regular Sunday outings.

It was an overcast morning when we met in Bramhall. Sadly, the days of quiet roads with relatively few cars on the road are…

Initially, we followed one of our usual routes out into Cheshire. This took us along Lees Lane. And then into Mill Lane. Next, we turned…
