Another Peterborough weekend 11th / 12th August

I’m leading a cycling weekend in Peterborough for the Ealing LCC group on the weekend of 11th / 12th August. If you missed out on the Barnet Cycling Campaign weekends in Peterborough in 2014 and 2016 or would like to repeat some of the rides, you would be most welcome to join us.  The exact details still have to be finalised but we will probably go to Little Gidding on the Saturday and Fotheringhay on the Sunday.

For further information, please contact Charles Harvey.

Sunday 24th June: East Finchley Festival, Cherry Tree Woods, East Finchley

We will have an information stall at this popular local festival – plus Barnet Council is providing a cycle mechanic to do Dr Bike safety checks and do minor repairs. So bring your bike along for a check – and tell your friends.  The mechanic will be there between 1-4pm.  Helpers will also be needed to man the stall and talk to visitors about cycling locally and encourge them to join the LCC.

If you can help on the day please contact Alison –details below.

Prudential Ride London 100

Message from Talia Ross:
St John’s Hospice has 10 spare places for the Prudential Ride London 100 on Sunday 29th July. They will only go to waste if they are unused, so there is no minimum amount of money to raise, although any sponsorship would be appreciated. However, there will be publicity photos taken. The deadline for signing up is tight so, if you are interested, do email  Romaine Maret at the St John’s Fundraising team: romaine.maret@hje.org.uk
