The previous week had witnessed extreme weather conditions. Indeed, as a result, we had called off a recce of this Manchester Airport Circular cycle ride. It meant I would lead this ride ‘on the hoof’ so to speak. Sarah was missing too since she was recceing a run around Coniston Water. Thankfully, we have cycled various Manchester Airport Circular versions before. We were a select group of nine that met at Bramhall. Occasionally small groups are best! We began by…
It was a cold morning for a cycle ride. Vuelta a Stockport 2022 was the second edition of this local cycle ride celebrating one of the iconic cycle tour races.

After crossing Sandy Lane we made our way through South Reddish Park. Next, we cycled through Heaton Chapel. Then…
