It was a wet and windy Saturday morning when five Stockport Community Cycling Club members arrived at the top of Hollywood Park, Edgeley, for the Wythenshawe 2020 cycle ride. Clearly, the oncoming Storm Dennis had put most of our members off the idea of cycling today. Andy Shaw was today’s ride leader, and Sarah was the back-leader.

Our ride began at the car park at the bottom of Vernon Park. The first thing we had to do was cycle…
Sunday was the SCCC Jodrell Bank Ride 2019. It is a ride that we have done plenty of times before but is still a good one.
