Given the current situation with COVID-19, our plans are currently flexible.
Our next event coming together…. DETAILS AS OF 14/9/2020
Saturday September 26th ride out from either Reading or Windsor meeting up at Marlow for coffee.
The idea will be to start in two groups – one in Windsor the other in Reading. Use the back roads so nothing off road but as quiet as we can make it. Route details below. Route is about 15 miles to Marlow so total ride under 30 miles.
Start time will be 10am meeting up in Windsor – Meeting at the Windsor Central station (NOT the Riverside station)! OR Reading Station and then meeting in Marlow about 11.30am for a coffee and cake!
We will be using the opportunity to raise some money for a local charity Rennie Grove Hospice Care but there is no need to feel like you have to raise any money or be involved because of this.
