bells and bikes

I refer to a few websites in my book: informative websites by local groups sharing ideas about how to welcome global cycle races to your doorstep and sites of how to get involved in church bellringing or cycling in your area. Here goes:

“Can bellringing learn anything from the British Cycling experience?”

A YouTube film of a conference talk by Ruth Eyles, British Cycling coach. A talk which considers how cycling came out of decline into boom time. The challenge for church bellringing is to find the next generation of ringers.

OTHER LINKS

Here are some handy links where you can find more information about general community plans for Le Tour.  They are listed in race route order.  Each location in the left hand column has a church with bells.  The times show when the Publicity Caravan and the Race passed through.

Please don’t hesitate to tweet me or submit comments to this site if you are aware of other good localised websites which could be listed here to help people readily find out more about plans in specific locations.  Thanks in advance.  Hope this is helpful to you.  I’ve certainly benefited from some of these sites and from speaking to some of the great folk behind some of them.
