Ride and Stride - Saturday 12th September 

Do you enjoy cycling? Would you like to get to know others in the church as part of a relaxing day out? Then please join us for the RIDE & STRIDE event on Saturday 12 September.

The annual Ride & Stride is a national event but the proceeds are used locally to support Dorset churches. Last year, around £100,000 was raised for urgent repair work & key improvement grants to our historic churches - including our own St John’s. 

 

Join us this year for a thoroughly enjoyable cycle ride, stopping off at regular intervals to visit some of our beautiful churches in Dorset. Bring along any friends and family and enjoy stopping for a picnic at Spetisbury’s old station on the former railway line as we travel this and other safer roads & tracks. The history is amazing, the countryside is beautiful, the friendship are great - and the cycling is always good exercise without being too onerous!

 

We usually have 2 rides of 12 & 30 miles, but can vary this to suit, providing we have sufficient notice to arrange alternatives. 

 

Some people choose to walk rather than cycle - indeed,  we are encouraged to use whatever means we prefer to support this cause, from horses (if you have one) to static bikes at the gym!

 

We will set up a St Johns webpage for a sponsorship link shortly, but in the meantime, you can find more information now on the DHCT website HERE

 

We do need to know the names of those interested now please, to enable us to organise the event for St Johns. Please email either John Fleming, Debbie Fleming, Tim Butterfield or Ben Wiltshire if you would like more information:-
