Ride & Stride 2024

16 Sep 2024 • Ride & Stride

50 miles, 16 Churches, sun shining and money raised

Started out a lot warmer than expected, dressed as if there was a frost.  Stunning day, rode the 7 miles to the train station before heading off to the first Church on the list, St Nicolas, sadly no longer an active Church but great starting point.  On to St Andrews and then Dodderhill.  The weather couldn't have been better, perfect for taking photos.  Roads were thankfully quiet which made the ride all the more pleasant. Sadly not all Churches open, did manage to get a couple of signatures and a stamp.  Thanks to the Churches that were open and offering refreshments, they were very welcome. Last Church on the route was Droitwich Methodist and then back to the train station, oh and then the 7 miles back home.

Anyone doing the Maths here will notice 32 plus 14 doesn't equal 50.  This would mainly be down to a slight technical hitch and two well hidden Churches, on a positive note neither of these hitches will ever happen again.   Would highly recommend the ride and look forward to next year.  Below is a short video clip of the route, apologies to Tibberton Church.
