This Stockport Community Cycling Club Alderley Circular ride was one I hadn’t planned on attending. However, the original back leader had a poorly bike, so I agreed to step in. Since I was the back leader, and Sarah is still recovering from a broken shoulder, it hopefully explains why most of the photos in this post are taken from the back!

It was a cold morning for a cycle ride. Vuelta a Stockport 2022 was the second edition of this local cycle ride celebrating one of the iconic cycle tour races.

This took us along Wilmslow Road past the Deanwater. We then turned into Lees Lane. And then Mill Lane. We cycled through…
