Join us for Bard’s Bike Rides and Walk!
Saturday May 17th 2025
Bard’s Ride on May 17th 2025 will again start at the wonderful Cherington and Stourton Village Hall (CV36 5HG). Food will be available before and after the Rides or Walks.
There will be a 60-mile Challenge Ride (100km) and a 25-mile Classic Ride around the stunning Warwickshire countryside. The Rides go through pretty villages and open countryside and (on the 100km Ride) past the Edge Hill battlefields. The routes from last year’s Ride, in 2024, are shown on this page.
Please note:
The 100km Challenge Ride will not be signed. There will be a GPS route link.
The 25-mile Classic route will have yellow signs on the route and a GPS route link will also be provided.
It’s a great opportunity to get fitter before cycle challenges later in the summer!
Prices will be posted in the New Year.
Or.. you could join us for Bard’s Walk: 3 or 5 miles.
