July Origami Ride - Market Harborough

The July Origami ride starts in Market Harborough, Leicestershire - apparantly a medieval 'New Town' - whatever that means. The ride is mostly over the county border in Northamptonshire; the outward leg will be on quiet rural roads taking in the sights of the Battle of Naseby for any history buffs among you. Lunch will be at the Coach & Horses, Brixworth - renowned for the fastest change of horses in the days of the stagecoach! Return will be via the Brampton Valley Way. Full details here.

Inspired by the UK Origami rides some years ago like-minded folks in Germany and the Netherlands started their own rides, characteristically named 'Origamitours'. These rides are still going strong and, for a recent Birdy-themed ride through the centre of Hamburg, the organisers decided to register it as a demonstration - affording a police escort no less! This spectacle can be seen at our Flickr gallery here.
