Anderton Boat Lift

Anderton Boat Lift

Finally it seemed as if traces of Spring are just around the corner as Stockport Community Cycling Club enjoyed a 35 mile ride around Cheshire to Anderton Boat List. Starting from Wilmslow Leisure Centre we headed out through Ollerton, Lach Dennis and Rudheath. We skirted the edge of Northwich and weaved (appropriate since we were next to the River Weaver) our way through Neumann’s Flashes which forms part of Marbury Country Park.       Lunch was at the café at Anderton…

Sunday was an SCCC eXtra ride to Scholar Green, which was being led by Andy. The ride started at Wilmslow Leisure Centre.

We headed out through Bramhall then out towards Mottram St Andrew, Redesmere and on to Jodrell Bank. Just…

Cranage – Floods and a Big Pig

Cranage – Floods and a Big Pig

Sunday saw us out cycling with Stockport Community Cycling Club on a ride starting from Wilmslow and heading out towards Cranage. Andy was leading the group and I was the back leader, making sure we didn’t lose anyone! We took an interesting route out to Cranage, along some lanes which were new to me. Although there had been some rain recently, I was still suprised to have to cycle through two flooded sections of road! We stopped briefly at Redesmere…
