We hope those involved in this year’s event will take advantage of the many attractions available to them at the various churches and chapels taking part in the 2012 Ride and Stride. The many churches and chapels open are themselves interesting to visit while additional activities that will be available make trips to them all the more rewarding. We are grateful for the information that has been supplied to us with details of the ‘special’ attractions and trust that participants enjoy what is available to them as they undertake the task of visiting the places of worship on their chosen route.
