Ken's Carnival Ride

As advertised, Ken's Carnival Ride took place on Sunday 24th August 2014. Despite the wet weather, a healthy crowd of cyclists, including a number of Clarions, assembled outside of the Old Bell Hotel for the 10.00am start.

Riders were rewarded at the mid-way point in Badminton with hot drinks and cake brought out to them by Andy Poolman's wife, Sue.

Ken generously invited participants back to his house afterwards for post-ride refreshments, by which time everyone had been treated to a thorough soaking in the rain.
