Manchester Airport Circular 2022

2 September 2022 Andy

This Manchester Airport Circular 2022 cycle ride seemed a familiar route. Yet, it wasn’t as familiar as we thought. We had previously cycled a paired-down version of this route as an afternoon ride and an alternative route starting from Bramhall. We met in Heald Green on a pleasant August morning and set off along Finney Lane. After navigating our way through Heald Green we reached Handforth and cycled down Clay Lane towards Styal. When we turned into Moss Lane we…

Manchester Airport Circular

2 March 2022 Andy

The previous week had witnessed extreme weather conditions. Indeed, as a result, we had called off a recce of this Manchester Airport Circular cycle ride. It meant I would lead this ride ‘on the hoof’ so to speak. Sarah was missing too since she was recceing a run around Coniston Water. Thankfully, we have cycled various Manchester Airport Circular versions before. We were a select group of nine that met at Bramhall. Occasionally small groups are best! We began by…

This Knutsford Revisited route was essentially a repeat of a cycle ride to Knutsford, with a few variations, that Sarah and I had completed in May of last years during the early stages of the coronavirus lockdown. It had been somewhat warmer last May! This year Sarah and I met Andy S and Neil on a cool Sunday morning at the Ladybridge Road end of Ladybrook Cycleway. After cycling along Ladybrook valley, at the other end of the cycleway, we…

Afternoon Ride to Manchester Airport

9 April 2017 Andy

Sarah and I don’t go along to too many Stockport Community Cycling Club afternoon rides. However, a sunny Saturday afternoon cycle ride to Manchester Airport sounded just fine. And twenty-three other club members agreed! We met up near Heald Green station on the edge of Wythenshawe. The route essentially follows the Airport Orbital Cycleway, local cycle route 85. Before the ride began, however, there was the job of fixing punctures. Soon we were on our way along Simonsway. We passed…

Knutsford

21 January 2014 Andy

Following a successful Stockport Community Cycling Club Annual Lunch yesterday it was back to normal business today with a cycle ride led by Neil to Knutsford in Cheshire. Considering it was an overcast Sunday morning there was a healthy turnout of club members arrived at Wilmslow Leisure Centre from where the ride started. We then headed out of Wilmslow along Styal Road and headed in the direction of Mobberley. From Styal Road we headed down Mobberley Road and Burleyhurst Lane. Then…
