The Ride of the Lions proposes a cycling re-enactment of the message of victory sent by Wellington from the battlefield back to the East India Club in London.
Two hundred years ago Major Percy was entrusted by the Duke of Wellington to take his written notice of victory (his Dispatch) from Waterloo by horse and carriage to the Prince Regent in London, who was eventually found at what is now the East India Club.
The ride will recreate this journey alongside British & Irish Lions and a number of wounded veterans who are beneficiaries of the charity Walking With The Wounded, for which the riders will be fundraising.
For the itinerary, prices and booking, please see the Ride of the Lions website.
