Cyclists will be heading out across east Suffolk next month as RIDE Suffolk returns.
Action Medical Research has announced that the popular ride would be coming back on Sunday, May 30.
The event aims to raise vital and emergency funds for the children’s research charity, after it saw its income diminish overnight, and all events cancelled since March.
RIDE Suffolk is open to anyone over the age of 16 who is prepared to put in some training beforehand.
The event offers range of distances to choose from including the Cool (42 miles) and Classic (65 miles) routes, which will take participants though through beautiful Suffolk countryside and villages, including Hasketon, Parham and Otley.
I wrote this sonnet to it.
THE WHITE DOVE
Sweet white dove, perched giddily on scented shrub
Ringed but lost, peeking in panes for company
Wooing love and nurture, unphased by fear.
Rejected, my heart sang on your return
Rapping on my pane, seeking hail the same
Like errant son who learns what he has spurned -
Till instinct made you test your wings again!
White dove, sweet bird, now ever lost to flight
Village homes welcomed you and tried to trace
Owners afar, pitiless, knowing your plight:
That, instinct fled , never more you could find base.
White dove, rare visitation
