BARD’S RIDE 2023
A very big thank you to everyone who participated in Bard’s Ride 2023. We have had great feedback about the day.
The Rides started at Stourton, Cherington and Sutton-under-Brailes Village Hall and there was a choice of 2 routes (100km and 40km) around the beautiful Warwickshire countryside. The weather was good for cycling – and for those taking part in our Bard’s Bluebell Walk.
If you have won a raffle prize, our Treasurer will be in touch with you.
Many thanks to Stuart at Shipston Spokes who generously gave us a repair voucher as a prize. He also provided bike supports for the day.
Wellesbourne Wheelers gave us valuable help with the route and signing and we are very grateful for their support.
