Prestbury – Including Mottram St Andrew and Bollington

Prestbury – Including Mottram St Andrew and Bollington

It was, perhaps surprising for this time of year, glorious weather for a Good Friday. The UK (and indeed the rest of the world) are currently struggling with the coronavirus pandemic. However, thankfully we are currently allowed one session of exercise each day. There may not be any Stockport Community Cycling Club rides at the moment, however, Sarah and I were still determined to make the most of the fabulous weather and get out on our bikes. Prestbury would be…

Towards Pott Shrigley – From Poynton

Towards Pott Shrigley – From Poynton

With Stockport Community Cycling Club cancelling all rides for the foreseeable future, and the coronavirus lockdown now coming into force, Sarah and I had been missing our cycling opportunities. Thankfully, we are being allowed one exercise session per day. Sarah and I decided to use this one to go cycling. The cycling organisations are advising us to keep our rides short(ish), so a quick pootle up to Pott Shrigley seemed ideal. We began by heading out through Hazel Grove. After…

A New Years Day Cycle Ride to Bollington

We met at Torkington Park. We hadn’t planned a route, we decided to make it up as we went along. Then headed for Torkington Old Road. We turned into Threaphurst…

Marple Ridge

Marple Ridge

We have had some inclement weather over the last week, however, it was a fine start to the day when we set off. It wouldn’t last! We set off along the path through Mirrlees Playing Fields. Then weaved our way through Hazel Grove towards Offerton. A short climb up Marple Road took us to Bongs Road. We followed this through to Dooley Lane. A…

Around Poynton Again – The 2017 Ride

Around Poynton Again – The 2017 Ride

Today the Stockport Community Cycling Club ride took us around Poynton again. This is a route we have cycled a couple of times previously (read the 2015 report here). The day also brought the first biting winter weather for the club rides. The weather forecast wasn’t inspiring, and if Sarah wasn’t due to lead the ride we might have thought about giving it a miss. That said, in the end, we were glad we made the effort. With the temperature barely…
