The Pickwick Bicycle Club has done it again! The Wembley
Road Club Shield for the largest amount raised by a group
goes, yet again, to the club with a total over £800 raised!
As Baillie Mac Something (the Organiser) said: “The 24th
Wembley Road Club's charity bike ride took place on
Sunday 24th June over 30 miles. Our charity this year was
“Help for Heroes”

Monies raised to date (after one day) over £2,500.

This year’s winner of The Mary Smithson Cup with over
£400 raised is Simon Steptoe of Princes Risborough.

Gathering at “The Hit or Miss” pub on a wet morning
reduced the starting field to 32 who faced a windy day with
sun and showers, lots of punctures, potholes, and gritty
and wet roads. Well down from the usual 60 to 70
participants.

Following a lunch stop at Huntswood Golf Club
the riders returned via the “Royal Standard of
England” at Forty Green to finish in the sunshine
at “The Hit or Miss”, Penn Street

It was a good day and all the riders finished
including the oldest rider Michael Radford (aka Mr
Brooks) of Micheldever, Hants. at 78 years old.

Other Pickwickians present were Justice
Stareleigh, Mr.Phunky, Mr.Mallard, Joe The Fat
Boy and, of course, Baillie Mac himself, all of
whom, together with others, enjoyed the superb
Mr.Mallard & Sue
BBQ and the wide range of food at the home of
Baillie Mac Something and Diana.
