Brummies outing to Charlecote Park

This is the 3rd of a series of rides to local National Trust properties brought about as a result of collaboration between British Cycling and the National Trust. Each property we visit has offered to give ride participants complimentary access to their cafe so we can have a well earned treat on arrival at the properties. As you will see from the list the rides get progressively longer so present a challenge to those not used to the longer rides. The challenge IS realistic – if you can do this ride and keep cycling - by July 10th you will be able to do the 40+ miles to Hanbury Hall and back. Go for it! The first 3 rides will be around 8-10 mph average and the last 2 will be a little faster at around 10/11 mph.. This ride takes us out along mainly quiet roads and country lanes through several Warwickshire villages to Charlecote Park. After our refreshment stop we’ll head on for Stratford and the train back to Yardley Wood. Alternatively you can cycle back with me at a slightly faster pace. Helmets are recommended but not compulsory. Please bring a drink and food, plus a spare inner tube and cash for train ticket home and for any refreshments you want to buy. We look forward to sharing a great day out with you For more details about any of these rides or if the weather is a bit “iffy” on the day give me a ring Gaye 07738334271 Ann Ryan Programme = Brummies cycle to National Trust properties Date Cycling to Cycling from distance Sunday 24th April Packwood House Billesley Tennis Centre 25 miles Saturday 7th May Baddesley Clinton Billesley Tennis Centre 30 miles Monday 30th May (B.Hol)Charlecote Park then Stratford* Yardley Wood Station 35 miles (55 if cycling back to start) Saturday 11th June Coughton Court Billesley Tennis Centre 40 miles Sunday 10th July Hanbury Hall (tbc) Billesley Tennis Centre 45 miles *Catch train back Gaye, Ann and Liz Any queries or if weather looks a bit iffy ring Gaye on 07738334271
