Saturday saw the inaugural running of the Cider With Rosie Scenic Tour, with the first car leaving Much Marcle at 10.30am, making its way to the lunch halt at Redmarley for 12.30pm and back to Much Marcle for 3.30pm.
The route saw many stunning roads through the orchards and hops of Herefordshire and Gloucestershire roads, together with a trip through the Malvern Hills.
As my first time running an event as clerk of the course, there is many thank yous I must give out!
Firstly, thank you to all the entrants who supported us on our first year, I hope everyone had an enjoyable day and I am pleased to have had such positive feedback on the route and the event as a whole.
Secondly, all the marshals who manned passage controls on the route for us. Your help on the day was greatly appreciated.
And lastly, to all those who have helped behind the scenes in the build up to the event as well as on the day, the event could not have been as successful without your help.
A full gallery of photos courtesy of Daniel Jaggard will be under the Cider With Rosie Tab.
I hope to see everyone back next year for the 2026 running, which we will be looking to announce the date later this year with regards to the event.
