This Stockport Community Cycling Club Alderley Circular ride was one I hadn’t planned on attending. However, the original back leader had a poorly bike, so I agreed to step in. Since I was the back leader, and Sarah is still recovering from a broken shoulder, it hopefully explains why most of the photos in this post are taken from the back!
