Jodrell Bank – And Goostrey

Jodrell Bank – And Goostrey

Jodrell Bank and Goostrey are two regular ports of call for Stockport Community Cycling Club rides in Cheshire (and to be honest many of the local cycling clubs). It is simply that they are well placed when choosing somewhere to stop for a break.

This week however it has been difficult at times to get back in to the regular routine both at home and at work. And today it was back to another familiar – a Sunday cycle ride with Stockport Community Cycling…

A Tale of a Broken Foot and a Cycle Ride to Middlewich

A Tale of a Broken Foot and a Cycle Ride to Middlewich

This has not been the best of weekends for Sarah and I, or to be more exact, Sarah. Sarah and I were due to lead today’s Stockport Community Cycling Club ride to Middlewich, tomorrow and Wednesday Sarah was due to lead the club ride around Poynton Lanes, and of course it is now under three weeks before we set off on our big JOGLE cycling trip … Sadly this week Sarah broke her foot whilst on a work trip to…
