Mobberley – The Return of Social Cycling

Mobberley – The Return of Social Cycling

It’s been a while! However, finally, some of the latest coronavirus lockdown restrictions are gradually being eased. One of those is the ability for small groups to meet outdoors again.

Tatton Park 2018 – The End of Year Ride

Tatton Park 2018 – The End of Year Ride

This Tatton Park 2018 cycle ride was the latest in what has become a bit of tradition, a beginning/end of year cycle ride to Tatton Park – see here for 2014, 2016 and 2017 versions. It brought down the curtain on another fine year of cycling. It was a cool and damp morning that saw a large group of Stockport Community Cycling Club cyclists meet at Gatley Rail station, eager to burn off a few of those Christmas calories. Sarah was…
