The latest Stockport Community Cycling Club ride started from CERA Cycloan in Higher Hillgate. It was a pleasant but slightly overcast morning for our Big Stockport Circular. Andy was leading the ride today. We began by cycling up through St Thomas’ Rec. Weaving our way through back streets we made our way towards Offerton. After cycling around the edges of the Offerton estate we headed up Cow Lane and came out in Hazel Grove. We spent a little bit of…

Then, after turning towards Stableford, our next climb took us up…

There were so many of us we had to split into two groups. Sarah and I were leading the first group, and the photos that follow are from this groups ride. We set off through the ‘back-door’ of Trentham Gardens. We then turned on to Newcastle…
