Marplr to Macclesfeild Cycle ride


Last Sunday members of the group accompanied Joan and Hannah in a cycle  ride along the Middlewood Way to raise funds for ECH and in memory of Joan's husband, Vince. It was an enjoyable day and we were blessed with good weather . Jack turned up on a bike which was apparently older than him with a 'hard man's ' leather Brooks saddle. Both performed well but we are not guessing at the age. The ride wasn't without incident with Joan's chain coming off in Macclesfield .Fortinately John and Nigel came to the rescue with Nigel sacrificing his Costa coffee to attend to Joan. Sadly, there was no success at The Pick Up point at Tescos in Mac for John and Chris Shay - think they had misinterpreted the sign.
The cyclists and supporters enjoyed a welcome drink at the pub in Poynton on the return leg.
Thanks to all who supported the ride. Sue Hudson.
