It was a fine Autumn morning that saw a healthy number of Stockport Community Cycling Club riders meet at Bramhall library for this Gawsworth 2018 cycle ride. Indeed, there were enough riders that we split into two groups. Sarah and I would lead the second group. The route began with us weaving our way through Bramhall and Woodford. This took us along Wilmslow Road past the Deanwater. We then turned into Lees Lane. And then Mill Lane. We cycled through…

We were following NCN Route 55. We stopped at the Waggon and Horses pub for lunch….

We arrived at Wilmslow Leisure Centre for the…
Sometimes you look outside early on an Autumn Sunday morning, rain pouring down, and the thought of cycling to Siddington is …well, not immediately appealing. However the reason why we love cycling is because when the rain abates and you pluck up the determination to step foot outside and ride to the start something special happens.
