They have 70-80 members and do time trials and club rides. Their regular Sunday ride was to start at Abingdon Market Place today for a change.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abingdonblog.co.uk\/imag12\/12041603.jpg\" alt=\"Freewheeling\" \/><br \/>\nThe town crier had what should become the town crier&#8217;s bike. He saw it a while back and borrowed it for the event. He is stood between two young ladies who were there to promote cycling safety. Be seen!<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abingdonblog.co.uk\/imag12\/12041606.jpg\" alt=\"Freewheeling\" \/><br \/>\nAbingdon Freewheeling had lots of rides on offer this year: 4, 10, 27 &amp; 50 mile road rides and 12 &amp; 22 mile off-road rides. This is the leader of the 27 mile road ride with tandem.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abingdonblog.co.uk\/imag12\/12041607.jpg\" alt=\"Freewheeling\" \/><br \/>\nBeyond Bars Cycles (to be found in Coxeters) were there with a large stand and a large assortments of bikes. They were also doing repairs on alien bikes.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abingdonblog.co.uk\/imag12\/12041604.jpg\" alt=\"Freewheeling\" \/><br \/>\nLastly the Kings Head and Bell were serving some tasty food. Perhaps a chance to ask you to put World Fairtrade Day in your diaries as there is a link &#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>World Fairtrade Day is\u00a0Saturday 12th May, and the Abingdon Fairtrade group is holding a Fairtrade Continental Breakfast at the KH&amp;B. Steve (Kings Head and Bell) is donating the breakfast and the venue free of charge.  Debbie (Patisserie) will supply croissants and Waitrose will provide the Fairtrade fruit. In return you can just come a long and maybe give a donation to a Traidcraft charity. I&#8217;ll remind you nearer the event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There was a lot going on in Abingdon this weekend.
