UPDATE
Meet at Alans, Leaton Hall SY4 3AP Leaton at 10am finish by 6pm. Sorry the time was only on the booking form.
Scouts starts back on Friday 12th September and we are straight into the programme with a sponsored bike ride on Saturday 13th September.
For those that have been before you'll know what happens, we ride our bikes to lots of old churches, eat loads of biscuits, drink loads of squash, play in the ford and generally manage to complete the 25 mile challenge in about 8 hours, yes, that really is slower than walking....

Well this years it's going to be different! We are going to start from Alan's house in Leaton and cycle around a new route, the only thing that's going to be the same is the weather because it's always sunny that weekend ;-)
The sponsorship is for the Shropshire Historic Churches Trust so as well as having a fun day, you'll be doing some community service, which counts towards your challenge badges and if we make the 25 mile will complete the bulk of your cyclist badge.
If you want to give the money through your own church and know they are taking part you can write their name on the form, if not it'll go via West Felton because their organisers got us into this!!!
You must book a place so I know who's coming and can make sure we have enough leaders. As it's sponsored you'll need to get some sponsors too. Click HERE to download the sponsor form. There'll be a prize for the most money collected. (About £40 last year I think).
You must have a safe working bike, tyres blown up, two working brakes etc and as always with scout cycling events a well fitting helmet is mandatory.
You'll need to carry a small day bag, bring a packed lunch and a water bottle, though we'll be given drinks at many churches.
Also bring your sponsor form, a pen and I suppose your waterproofs....
Book your place here.... You don't need to print anything, just put your own name not your parents, unless they want to come too.
