START: 11:00am Water Tower, Durdham Down
DESCRIPTION: A fancy dress ride into the city centre and back to promote the Bristol Botanical Gardens Festival of Bees & Pollination (which takes place the following weekend).

You’ll need good cycle skills whilst in costume (so not suitable for beginners) and you’ll need a pannier rack to support the costume. Bikes with trailers needed to carry small beehives.
