Bikes and Books – From Evesham Velo Park

After a successful ride last year this event is returning in 2025 to celebrate a love of books and cycling.

Join us for a leisurely 20-mile ride, starting at Evesham Velo Park and finishing at Raphael’s Restaurant. Led by Helen Russell, previously named as one of Cycling UK’s 100 Women in Cycling, and a great book lover, this year’s ride will meander through Cotswolds’ villages and riders will learn about the area’s connections to writers such as JM Barrie, JR Tolkien and William Morris, as well as modern TV series Agatha Raisin and Father Brown.

Run in conjunction with Cycle Evesham Vale. The ride is suitable for all abilities and for regular or electric bikes. Please ensure your bike is in good working order. There will be a back-marker so no one will be left behind.

This is a free event but please register before the day with aW5mbyB8IGV2ZXNoYW1mZXN0aXZhbG9md29yZHMgISBvcmc=.
