MGCC: Lincolnshire Centre, Social Run, Sunday 4th June 

The Lincolnshire Centre will be having their Social Run this Sunday, and below you can get a glimpse of what will be happening.

“This year, our Ride Out is to the Pure Land Meditation Centre and Japanese Garden situated in North Clifton, near Newark. The award-winning meditation centre and Japanese garden has been featured in ‘Inspirational Gardens of the World’ by the AA and is said to be one of The Best British Gardens seen on ITV. Our day starts at 11.00 am at the Lincolnshire Poacher, Bunkers Hill, Lincoln, LN2 4QT where breakfast/brunch of your choice may be purchased. There is no need to pre-book breakfast at this venue as they are able to meet our demands without. After breakfast at approximately 12.30pm we leave for North Clifton via main and local roads. At the gardens, we will be able to partake of lunch or one of their legendary afternoon teas. Time spent at the gardens is at your discretion. There is just the one starting point this year but I am sure members from all natters remote to the starting location will either organise themselves to ride to the starting point or alternatively directly to the gardens. Of course, there is always a risk with the English weather so please be prepared for late changes.”
