2020 Baillie Mac Hits The Road Again
Sunday 17th June – Charity Cycle Ride 32nd Anniversary
The recipe for the 32nd Anniversary remains unchanged with a 30mile ride through the
Chilterns commencing atThe Plough, Winchmore Hill, with lunch at Huntswood Golf Club,
before returning to The Plough. The competitive nature of the event will be targeting the
Wembley Shield. The event this year is in aid of Headway South Bucks at Bourne End and it
is hoped that the monies raised will be another record for this special occasion. There will be
the usual BBQ at ‘Wildhatch’ afterwards. Baillie Mac Something has raised incredible
amounts of money for this annual event, so come along and support those Pickwickians taking
part, or bring your bike and ride.
