Twenty-six Stockport Community Cycling Club members met in Heald Green for this Wilmslow Circular 2019 cycle ride. It was a crisp and cool, but thankfully occasionally sunny morning.

Beyond Withington Green

27 February 2019 Andy

Stockport Community Cycling Club cyclists arriving at Hazel Grove Park and Ride were greeted by some remarkably warm weather.

Goostrey 2018

5 December 2018 Andy

Sarah and I cannot remember the last time we missed three Stockport Community Cycling Club rides in a row. It was good, therefore, to get back cycling with the club again. Sarah, however, wasn’t feeling too good before this Goostrey 2018 ride and almost didn’t make it. However, by the time we arrived home at the end of the day she was glad she had made the effort. We met at Wilmslow Leisure Centre for a cycle ride into Cheshire…
