(0) ReviewsBottle kicking, one of Briton's oldest customs, takes place on Easter Monday and is preceded by the parading of a Hare Pie. We will visit the two villages, Hallaton and Medbourne, involved in the annual competition and soak up the countryside sights and sounds between them.
We'll be riding on quiet country lanes with little traffic. The route is not all that hilly there is one quite tough hill.
We can stop for a drink and the very picturesque Nevil Arms in Medbourne - it features in the photo linked to this ride. We'll also stop for breathers along the way.
You must wear a helmet on this ride and it's a good idea to bring a bottle of water and some money
We always welcome new riders. We're a sociable group who chat as we ride and we never leave anyone behind.
