Before the COVID pandemic lockdown changed life for everyone, we had planned this weekend to be cycling on our annual summer tour. We should have been cycling along the Welsh Borders. However, we have had to postpone that trip until next year. Instead, today would see us cycling with friends out to Bollington, Prestbury and Wilmslow.
