Rides to the celebratory club tea
Following on from the successful events held in previous years, we are holding another club tea on Sunday 15 September from 2pm to 6pm at Haslingfield Village Hall.
We are offering a range of rides of different lengths from 23 to 160 km, 14 to 100 miles, converging in Haslingfield for afternoon tea, with sandwiches and cakes. Everyone is welcome, including past and present members and their families.
The event is also being promoted as part of the Cambridge Festival of Cycling, so we hope some of our friends from Camcycle will come along as well. The cost will be £5 a head for adults (children free). You can pay in cash on the day, or in advance directly to our bank.
