Stockport Community Cycling Club riders met at Gatley Rail Station for this cycle ride out to Timperley. Sarah would be leading the group and I was the back leader. It was a fine morning. Yes, we could still cycle in short-sleeved gear! So, we began by setting off down Northenden Road. Then we turned into Longley Lane. Leaving Longley Lane, we took a shortcut up Beech Avenue. This took us through to Northenden. When we reached Northenden we joined National…
