After the usual too much eating and drinking at Christmas, a group of Stockport Community Cycling Club friends decided we needed to get back on our bikes. Mike P kindly organised a cycle ride from Plumley taking in the Cheshire lanes. That would do the trick! Not only that, it turned out to be one of those glorious wintry days ideal for cycling. We met at The Smoker, an inn on Chester Road. After leaving the inn car park, we…
There was a healthy turnout at Timperley Sports Club for this Stockport Community Cycling Club Plantation 2018 cycle ride. It meant we had to break into two groups.

For some of us this would be our last longer ride before our upcoming John o’Groats to Land’s End cycle tour …time to check that we are ready. Heading out of Timperley and through Altrincham the ride passed through Hale. And soon we were making our way through…
