“Want to come along and join us one of our Charity Rides?????‍♀️????‍♂️

Everyone is welcome whether you’re a club or individual cyclist the more the merrier. We have a couple of great routes and of course all of the proceeds go to a great charity the Midlands Air Ambulance.

• Event – Richie Milner Reliability Ride
• Entry/Donation Fee – from £5 per person
• Date – 24th March 2024
• Start Time – 9.00 am
• Venue – Cotswold Cycles/The Revolution Cafe, Moreton-in-Marsh GL56 0JU
• Sign on/registration – from 8.00am

The ride will replace our usual Sunday club rides.

Held in memory of our friend and former ride captain Richie Milner, this is our charity fund-raiser with all proceeds going to Midlands Air Ambulance.

It is an open event, so please do invite friends and family to come and ride with us for this wonderful ride out.

There are two routes to choose from 31 miles or 51miles – links for both rides below.

Groups are expected to cover a range of abilities, all groups and routes set off at 9.00am – so please arrive a little earlier than normal to sign in and make your donation.

The routes will not be signed or marshalled so please remember it is your responsibility (as a group) to navigate using the route files provided.

So, if you fancy a nice Sunday morning ride out with us and helping one of our  amazing charities now is your chance!

Oh yes, and finally the draw for the Easter Egg ( kindly donated by one of our members Rob Williams – Cotswold Chocolate Company) will be made in the cafe post-ride. If you haven’t yet secured your tickets don’t panic you will have an opportunity to buy some on the day!

So why not come along and join our fab rides and support an amazing charity in the process????.
