This new Stockport Community Cycling Club ride, a tour-de-force of South Manchester Parks, started, as it should, from a park. Didsbury Park to be precise. It was a fine spring morning. I was leading this first group, and Sarah was the back leader. Following the group photo, we set off through the park and then into Didsbury village. Briefly joining NCN route 62 along the way. After turning into Fog Lane, our next park was, appropriately enough, Fog Lane Park….
This Alderley Edge cycle ride represented the first Stockport Community Cycling Club Sunday ride for over 2 years. The last ones were curtailed due to the Coronavirus outbreak.

It was a fine Saturday morning when we met…

The route had been put together by Tracey and she was leading the first of two groups. Sarah was leading this second ride, Lesley was the back leader, and I had a free pass for a change! It seemed a typical club ride morning. Club leader Jim and his wife Barbara turned up walking the dog, just to say…
