40th anniversary of the march to Greenham Common: we’ll be riding the route that the women marched, 2-3rd Sept.
Long-story-short: it was the biggest female-led activist movement since women’s suffrage within living memory (yet most <40 haven’t heard about it!) Ride with CRC!!

In temperate heat where he is felt and seen;
With proud people, the best of VCJ's!
