I thought Cycle Wilmslow members were supposed to cycle, well we are but sometimes the brambles become too intimidating just like the potholes!

Our first recent effort as a group was on 08 September last year when about eight of us met at the Welsh Row / Soss Moss cycle slip lane down on to Melrose Way / Alderley By-pass / A34. Despite rain in the afternoon, we made a significant improvement but there’s still plenty to go back to.

Our next effort scheduled for 08 December was cancelled owing to high winds.

Some of our members joined with the U3A Cycling Group at short notice on a beautifully sunny 25 January to tame the slip lane from the Lakeland roundabout down to and alongside the A555. This proved to be a busy cycle path with maybe fifty cyclists passing in two and a half hours and about half actually thanked us!

So, our next bash is this Sunday 16 February starting at 10:00 am but feel free to slip in and out at any time! We’ll start at the Brook Lane overbridge slip lane down onto the Alderley By-pass. If numbers are up, the weather holds and progress is good we may move on to the Chelford Road slip lane or maybe that’s for the next time. 

Bring your own PPE and tools if you have them e.g. shears, loppers, spade, shovel, yard brush, secateurs etc.

See you there!
