Cycle ride round the Heatons - 29th May 2013

Tonight we had our May social.  Four of us met up with ten members of Stockport Community Cycling Club for a ten mile ride round the Heatons and Levenshulme.  (At the same time ten other SCCC cyclists left us and did a six mile route).  Our ride was a circular one from Heaton Chapel railway station, across the A6, past Houldsworth Golf Course, along the Manchester Cycleway into Levenshulme, through Cringle Park, along the Trans Pennine Trail and Burnage Lane to the new East Didsbury tram station, through Heaton Mersey into Heaton Moor and back past Heaton Moor Golf Club.

Gordon had cycled from work in Wythenshawe to HC station and cycled back home afterwards.  He'll have clocked up 30 miles today!  I suspect the other three of us, who don't cycle often (Daniel and Sue hadn't cycled since the MNTV bike ride round Gatley and Cheadle last August!), might be waking up tomorrow with sore legs!

Thanks to Sue and SCCC for organising the ride, to Sarah (SCCC) for leading us and to Andy and Jim Court (SCCC) for the loan of bikes.
