The Queen Eleanor Cycle Ride is a 4-day sponsored cycle ride, which takes place over the August Bank Holiday weekend. The 200-mile route follows quiet roads through glorious countryside from Harby to London and links the locations of the 12 Queen Eleanor Crosses, which Edward 1 built in memory of his wife Eleanor of Castile, after she died in Harby in 1290.

The QECR will be arriving in Geddington on Sat 23rd August, staying overnight in the houses of volunteers, then heading off again on Sunday 24th.  Why not come out to welcome them or see them off!

The QECR is organised by the Friends of the Connection and its ultimate purpose is to raise funds to support the work of the Connection at St Martin-in-the-Fields. Their aim is to get to know people, building lasting relationships as they move on to brighter futures. They believe no one should have to sleep rough on London’s streets and that everyone should get the support they need to find a place to call home.
