It is July 1919 as the story of the famous Green Bicycle Case unfolds. Leicestershire was recovering from the effects of the "Spanish Flu" pandemic. Life had been disrupted, just as it was again to be in 2020 when Covid struck. Young Bella Wright set off on a cycle ride to see some of her relations in the Leicestershire countryside.
Join us as Neil Donoghue in period dress narrates the story of the famous case by visiting the scenes associated with the case.
There will also be an intermediate pick up point on the route for those that would prefer to start the ride from Evington Park House, Evington Park. The ride will arrive at the front of Evington Park House at approximately 10.20am, and for anyone starting and ending the ride at Evington Park the route will be 11.5 miles long.
Helmets are advised but not compulsory. Bring a spare inner tube and a drink.
