SCCC Peover Heath Ride – The December version

5 December 2017 Andy

The Peover Heath ride has usually provided the opening longer ride for the year. This year, however, it brought the curtain down on the 2017 longer rides, which this year have stretched into December. The temperatures have been falling rapidly recently, however, this Sunday provided a little chink of slightly warmer weather. This possible last opportunity to enjoy reasonable cycling weather brought out twenty Stockport Community Cycling Club members to the start at Davenport Green. I was leading the ride…

Redesmere Ride via Jodrell Bank

16 February 2017 Sarah

It was a bright but rather cool day on Sunday for the SCCC Redesmere Ride. We met up at Davenport Green.

Along Blossoms Lane, then past the Deanwater. We then headed out through Mottram St Andrew. We then turned right onto Chelford Road and make our way to the National trust…

Julia was leading the ride today, and she led us out through the streets…

15 March 2015 Andy

The latest Stockport Community Cycling Club ride to Cotebrook certainly lived up to this. Sarah was down to lead this ride. 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…

Plumley – Cycling With Wind Resistance

15 April 2013 Sarah

The weather forecast had been for rain all day and strong winds – almost enough to put you off a day of cycling! We were due out on an SCCC ride from Timperley out to Plumley and back. As I was the back leader (to make sure no one gets left behind), not going wasn’t an option. At least it wasn’t cold! The ride officially started at the Timperley Cricket Club. There were about 20 of us that turned out….
