Baillie Mac Something Celebrates his
30th Charity Cycle Ride

Sunday 24th June, saw Baillie Mac Something set off on the 30th annual 30 mile charity
ride, along with 30 other riders on a fine sunny day. This year’s event was to support ‘The
Thames Valley Adventure Playground’ at Taplow near Maidenhead in Berkshire. Starting at
the usual venue, The Plough at Winchmore Hill, the route took them down through Penn and
Beaconsfield passing Cliveden Hotel, to a lunch stop at Huntswood Golf Club in Taplow after
15 miles.They then cycled through the edge of Burnham Beeches back to Old Beaconsfield to
stop at ‘The Greyhound’ for refreshments. Finally, back up to ‘The Plough at Winchmore Hill’
to finish the ride

The usual BBQ was then held at Ballie Macs and Diana’s home at ‘Wildhatch‘ ,with Mr
Justice Stareleigh (Ron Gray) attending to the barbie as ever. Forty or so ate and drank in
the summer sunshine, relaxing after all their hard riding. And we have raised £2,900.
A wonderful day with good weather, high spirits and ambience. Baillie Mac Something
