Building on the success of the inaugural London ride, on 2nd September, eleven riders* completed a twenty-five mile ride around Reading. In all trees (kindly donated by Barchams) were planted in three public parks with Tree Wardens, with the last tree planted at Reading University as part of the Arboricultural Association Field Day. Thanks to Ian Barrow and Dr Glynn Percival at Bartletts for supplying lunch and a detailed tour of the field-trial station and labs. Raised funds (£1,500.0) were used to part-sponsor the Chief Executive TDAG Trees in the Urban Landscape document print-run for England & Wales. See full write-up on website. I’ll leave the last words to Tim Moya: “Speaking on behalf of the older and less athletic element (me) - I loved it”.
NEXT RIDE: BIRMINGHAM OCT. 16th 2012
