10 mile cycle ride from Gatley station with SCCC - Weds 8th Aug.

Three intrepid MNTVrs joined Stockport Community Cycling Club (SCCC) on one of their Wednesday summer evening rides. Together with members of SCCC and some other 'newbies' that turned up, there were about 40 of us who split into 3 groups to go out cycling - 2 groups doing the same 10mile route a few minutes apart and a smaller group doing a different 6 mile route.

We set off through Gatley, riding on the smaller (less-busy) roads towards Heald Green, cutting down Brown Lane to come out on Styal Road. We continued up Styal Road, passing the airport on our right turning down Moss Lane and passing the airport runway as we looped round past Quarry Bank Mill and over to Handforth. Again, using smaller roads and passages (that I never knew existed!) we headed towards Bruntwood Park, which we rode through before heading back to Gatley station.

It was a fabulous ride on a lovely, warm evening, with good company. Many thanks to the members of SCCC for organising such a pleasant evening:-)
