Trevor Sanderson has cycled through Scandinavia to the North cape, through France, Italy, Spain, Germany Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Eastern Siberia. Come and find out about his amazing experiences. He will be bringing along his Koga Signature Tourer to show off… but don't touch!
'Family on a bike' recently took a six week journey along the Camino Frances, one of the ancient Pilgrim routes to Santiago de Compostela in Northern Spain. Travelling with three children, on two tandems with trailers, their 1400km journey, from Bilbao to the Pyrenees to Santiago and then Finisterre, took them across an extraordinary slice of rural Spain, across mountain and meseta, through hamlets, villages, towns and cities on a journey with a history stretching back over a thousand years.
Thursday 4th June
Road Biking Night
Kendal Parish Church Village Hall (Kirkland, Kendal, opposite Wheatsheaf pub) , 7:30pm
Come along for a night of road biking talks and films:
Local girl Lynn Hamel has been a professional cyclist from a young age, and among many of her achievements won the national time trail event BBAR with an average speed of 26.1mph, achieving the fourth fastest time in over 60 years. This year she won the women’s hill climb and won bronze in the national pursuit. Lynn’s achievements are even more remarkable due to her Aspergers syndrome.
There will also be some short bicycle powered film showings as well as a mystery speaker!
