About the Bike Ride:
Jim Woods Memorial Bike Ride will be starting and finishing in Beech, near Alton, it is a ride through some of the country’s most picturesque and quiet countryside. It takes in The Itchen Valley, The Test Valley and The Dever Valley and is on mostly quiet B roads or country lanes. The entry limit is 100 and there will be no entries on the day unless the limit is not reached, so if you have friends who want a last-minute entry, they would be advised to contact the organiser a few days before the event. Tea, coffee and biscuits will be available at the start and more substantial refreshment at the finish, all included in the entrance fee.
In memory of Jim Woods: A Good Friend and Fellow Cyclist
Jim Woods was a keen Club Cyclist joining ACC in 2010 on his return from France. Always good company on and off the bike, Jim loved cycle touring, Sunday club rides, and all things social. It was no surprise that he made such a great Club Social Secretary. He regarded his End to End in 2013 as one of his best and most enjoyable cycling accomplishments. Jim was diagnosed in September 2018 with a malignant brain tumour and died in April 2020. He is hugely missed by his many friends and family. His gentle humour and keen intellect live on in our memories.
Any profit from this event will be donated to brainstrust. This will be augmented by a donation from Alton Cycling Club.
