It's not often we tell two of our Bishops to get on their bikes but that's exactly what will be happening on Saturday 13 September as Bishop Gavin and Bishop Dave, supported by riders from the diocese, take part in Ride + Stride.
Ride + Stride is open to walkers as well as horse-riders and cyclists – in fact to anyone using a non-mechanical form of transport. This year it will be held on 13 September from 10am to 6pm to raise money for the repair and restoration of churches and chapels of any Christian denomination in the county it is taking place in. The funds are divided between the church of the participant's choice and their local Historic Churches Trust.
There's still time for you to don your Lycra or your walking boots and get involved. Visit the website to find out what's happening in your area:
