In these times of coronavirus lockdown, the importance of being able to get out and enjoy some daily exercise cannot be underestimated for Sarah and I. Such moments help take our mind off these tough times, even if just for a short while.

It meant we started a little later than usual. Thankfully, Stockport Community Cycling Club members arriving at Wilmslow Leisure Centre were greeted with some fine weather.
