The Queen Eleanor Cycle Ride A sponsored cycle ride along the pilgrimage route of the Queen Eleanor crosses |
||||||||||
HOME Welcome to The Queen Eleanor Cycle Ride, a cycle route through some of England's finest countryside along the chain of Queen Eleanor Crosses, following Eleanor of Castile's funereal procession in 1290. The Queen Eleanor Cycle Ride is a unique 210 mile ride along the historic route of the Queen Eleanor Crosses, from Lincoln to London. The route covers the best of Lincolnshire, Rutland, Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire and is ideally suited to a 3-4 day ride (or 1-2 for the more ambitious!) The next Queen Eleanor Cycle Ride group event will take place over the August Bank Holiday (27 - 30 August 2010), when up to 40 cyclists will make their way along the route with help from friends stretching all the way to Geddington and Harby. For our 2010 information brochure, which includes a registration form, click here. The Queen Eleanor Cycle Ride is not-for-profit and aims to minimise its costs so maximising the money raised by the event, with all monies raised used to support the work of the Connection at St Martin's (CSTM), which works with homeless people to provide support, move-on advice, shelter and food. St Martin-in-the-Fields is a vibrant and well-known church in Trafalgar Square at the centre of London. The final Eleanor cross along this route, the Charing Cross, stood just a few paces from where St Martins stands today. Click on the buttons above to find out more. |
