ENDURANCE RIDE 21st APRIL

Cheshire branch of Endurance GB are running a ride at Delamere Forest on 21 April 2012 which will incorporate Pony Club Robin and Merlin rides.  Details and entry form attached (delamere pr 2012 24 2 12).

This would be a great ride to do following the 3 training rides we have organised locally, and perhaps a stepping stone to trying a longer distance (perhaps even a qualifier for the PrC National Champs at Kelsall!!) .

Please note that younger riders will need an adult escort.

The organisers are desperate for help at this ride. If you are taking your child to this event and won’t be riding yourself can you please volunteer to help in any capacity you can.
