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.

Since it was Mother’s Day we decided that our usual lunch stop for the ride Cotebrook Shire Horse Centre would be too busy to accommodate our longer ride numbers, usually around 15-16 riders, so we decided to look for…
