D Run 2 Cyclists Memorial Service Sunday 19th May 2024

[PaulB]

Hi All

I will lead a D Run to Meriden for the cyclists memorial at Meriden on Sunday as the service is at 11am and if you fancy we can have a bite at Berryfields before the memorial. Usual pace of 11mph.

I have changed the route back, a bit boring, but we need to avoid the Knowle Fun Run that runs on the same day and there are lots of road closures

Meet at BH Northfiled for a 8 am start, we will aim to get to Berryfileds for a bacon butty, or whatever, at around 10am, then onto the memorial for 10-45 ish

55 mile round trip at ave 11 mph

Times dependent on a smooth run up to Meriden so plans may change

Lovely ride to the 103rd Cyclists Memorial Service in Meriden, that was the fastest ave speed i have done going to Meriden at 22 kph, around 13.5 mph which drew a few raised eyebrows from some of the slower guys but they were happy i got them to the Berryfields Cafe for brekkies, took it slower coming back though but well pleased with that ave speed, might join a C run soon, NOT
Beautiful service for all the cyclists lost in world wars in beautiful sunshine with the added pleasure of sampling the cakes after made by the WI
