It was another healthy Stockport Community Cycling Club turnout that made at Cheadle Baths for Neil’s new Chorlton ride. These large turnouts are creating a few ride management headaches in that for rider safety we have had to split into more than one group, and this becomes ride-leader intensive.

Saturday was the SCCC Sale Water Park Afternoon Ride. We met at North Reddish Park. We set off an made our way onto the Fallowfield Loop or the Manchester Cycleway as it is also called.

Having fortified ourselves we set off on stage 2 of our journey and were soon on the St Helen’s Canal towpath.
