The first Stockport Community Cycling Club Festive Ride proved extremely popular. So, this Festive Ride 2021 was an enhanced version of what has quickly become an annual, must repeat, fixture on the club ride calendar. As we continue to navigate our way through the coronavirus pandemic, this year we had two groups. Andy S led the first group … While I led group 2, with Jim the back-leader … It was a cool, though bright wintry morning. The two groups…
Ten Stockport Community Cycling Club cyclists met at Torkington Park for this cycle ride out to Bollington. Neil was leading this second group.

Upon leaving Riverside Park we dropped down Summerlea Close and joined the Middlewood Way. In…

We began by cycling up Towers Road. Weaving…
