ON SUNDAY, April 12, members of the Stroud Valleys Cycling Club left Stroud and cycled to Castle Combe to join other cyclists from the South West to attend the annual Castle Combe Cyclists' Church service at St Andrew's Church.
This service is a tradition spanning back 70 years this year, starting in 1945.
It is a celebration of cycling, and a service for remembering and honouring the men in cycling battalions who fell in the Great War and for the many cyclist soldiers, commandos and paratroopers who did not return from World War II.
It is now a memorial service and an informal gathering for today’s cyclists in the West Country.
