Ride & Stride 2008: Saturday 13th September |
|
The Historic Churches Sponsored Cycle Ride is also known as 'Ride & Stride' as it is open to walkers as well as horse riders and cyclists - in fact anyone using a non-mechanised form of transport. It always takes place on the second Saturday of September between 10.00 a.m. and 6.00 p.m., and the object is to raise money for the repair and restoration of churches and chapels of any denomination. Half the money raised goes to the church or chapel of the participant's choice, and the other half to a general fund administered by the Buckinghamshire (Bucks.) Historic Churches Trust, to which applications may be made for grants. |
