Ride + Stride 2023

Well, it is called Ride + Stride but cyclists won’t be doing much striding!

Ride and Stride is an annual event that raises money for historic churches and chapels. If you enjoy cycling through the beautiful countryside on our doorstep you may well appreciate the wealth of beautiful churches too and want to support this event. Personally, I am still astounded by the church in Kings Norton every time I see it.

Ride and Stride takes place on Saturday 9^th September and almost all the churches and chapels (in almost every county in the UK) will be open, with many serving refreshments. The idea is for you to cycle around a see them.  You might want to take in as many as possible or you might want to just visit a few but spend some time taking a look around.

You could ask for sponsorship but alternatively you could sponsor yourself or simply make a donation

On the websites you’ll find a list of all the churches open on the day – it’s almost all of them!
