Blenheim Palace Cycling Event

A real Penny Farthing

The Blenheim Palace cycling event seemed a great success. There were 100s of cyclists there – from eccentrics riding old penny Farthings, to the country’s top road racers and time triallists. In the middle, we were treated to the highly entertaining Brompton World Championships. After the official racing, we were able to ride around the 6 mile loop of Blenheim Palace. It was great to ride around such a beautiful, traffic free course.
