From the Archive - MDCC Dieppe Raid 1991

 

Since 1972 a series of rides have been organised by British cyclists at Dieppe to remember the Dieppe Raid during WW2. Details can be found here www.dieppetour.com

MDCC riders supported this event for many years and some ex-members still attend.

A photo in the club archive shows a group on the way over in 1991 some of whom you might recognise.  From left Robert Atkins, Paul Whitman, Dave Radford, Mike Gaskin, Gordon Sherratt , Fred May, club vice-president John Parfitt, Rod Myers and Alan  Hole. I hope you all recognise Mark Brewer at the front.

It takes place over the weekend of 28th -30th June and there is still time to enter if any members would like to get a group to go. I'm sure you would enjoy this very relaxed and enjoyable event.
