Hello from maybe just over the border in West Norfolk. If you're in South Holland, I'd love KLWNBUG to support you, maybe with group rides or campaigning. I'm not sure if BUG'S sibling group Pedals Spalding is still running (and would love to know if you do )

Hi mjr
Yes, PEDALS (Spalding's Cycle Action Group) is still going. I receive the minutes of their meetings. They have recently affiliated to Cycling UK, so are listed on the Cycling UK website. They haven't got their own website up and running yet, so don't have much exposure at the moment. Thanks for the invitation to connect with Kings Lynn and West Norfolk group. I see you've got some rides planned, I'll try to get one into the diary.

We've probably said hello already then! Welcome. Maybe this would be of interest....

From the event website:
Set in the South Lincolnshire countryside this maiden event The Holbeach St Johns Fun 50, a sportive with 2 loops of 25 miles each giving the rider a choice of either 50 miles or 25 miles with all profits going to Holbeach St Johns Church funds.
Both routes will start from the village hall in Holbeach St Johns, where sign-on and registration will take place, there will also be food,drink & toilets available for the riders choosing to do just one route or both.
Loop 1 will depart from the village hall and head in a northerly direction.
Loop 2 will again depart from the village hall and in a southerly direction.
South Lincolnshire has some lovely countryside with amazing views that go on for miles as the terrain is as flat as a pancake!! Dont be fooled though this is excellent training for the more advanced rider.
There will also be a much shorter route (approx 6 Miles) aimed at families wanting a short ride, entry for this will be on the day at £2.50 per rider.
