Saturday May 16th 2026
LAST YEAR’S RIDE on May 17th 2025 started at the wonderful Cherington and Stourton Village Hall (CV36 5HG).
There was a 60-mile Challenge Ride (100km) and a 25-mile Classic Ride around the stunning Warwickshire countryside. The Rides went through pretty villages and open countryside and (on the 100km Ride) past the Edge Hill battlefields.
