Morecambe Long – SCCC Lancaster Club Weekend Sneek-Peek

Morecambe Long – SCCC Lancaster Club Weekend Sneek-Peek

Yesterday, on our Knott End cycle ride we were dodging the rain. Thankfully, for the second of our SCCC Weekend sneek-peek rides, the forecast today was better. For our Morecambe Long cycle ride, we would just have to battle with the wind. Leaving the university campus, we started by heading down towards Lancaster. A couple of miles into the ride we joined the Lancaster Canal. This brought us into the city centre. Then, after quickly getting back onto the canal…

Crossing bridges was taken carefully, with…

Angel Meadow

Angel Meadow

This Stockport Community Cycling Club Angel Meadow ride was a shorter version of the popular Popup Bikes route. Currently, following coronavirus considerations, SCCC is operating a two small group ride strategy for each route. This week I was leading the second group. Unfortunately, I didn’t have my usual sidekick and second camerawoman Sarah in attendance. Thus, the photos this week are all mine, and taking photos when leading the ride can be tricky! We also had a tricky route to…
