CTC Birthday Picnic
Sunday 5th August 2007
As there were no national Birthday Rides in 2007, we thought it would be a good idea to celebrate the 129th Birthday of our club in style (it's the 110th year of the DA).
Fortunately, the 5th August fell on a Sunday and some 50+ cyclists had a picnic party (a birthday cake was provided - see pictures) in the grounds of the Abbey Road Pumping Station,Leicester (on Sustrans route 6).
