The Cycle Event
All you need is a pre 2000 bike, or a modern steed to a retro design. Whether it’s a pampered and restored, or recently dusted off from your garage, join in the fun at the Classic Rally, help St Peters Church restore the town clock chimes, and for the extroverts, wear period costume to match your bike. Enjoy the relaxed atmosphere ride a few miles around our beautiful countryside and then take in a spot of lunch at the food stalls in the Vintage Festival or one of the local hostelries , maybe even a beer. It's not a race, but there are prizes for those who's bike and costumes really look the part. There should be time for those on either the short or the long route to listen to the wonderful brass bands will have some appropriate music played during our judging ceremony.
