The SCCC Ride to Lymm started today from the TPT (Trans Pennine Trail) car park at the end of Atlantic Street, Broadheath, Altrincham. Today’s ride leader was the very lovely Gill. The back leader was meant to be Andy P but he was busy working on his OU assignment, so I stepped in and said that I would be the back leader instead. However when I looked at the weather forecast the night before, I wasn’t looking forward to it…

We followed country lanes to Sigglesthorne. We continued to follow the…
Friday was our TPT Day 5 – Howden to Hornsea then Hull. It was also Andy’s birthday (he said he was 24 but I think he may have ‘lost’ quite a lot of years)! We left Howden and followed some lovely quiet roads. The only ‘problem’ was that they were very exposed, which meant we had quite a strong head wind. We crossed over a lock called Weighton Lock. About 16 miles into the ride we stopped off for a…
