| Where: | Meriden, Warks at the War Memorial on the Green |
| When: | Sunday mid-month in May |
| Time: | 11am |
A service is held annually at Meriden in Warwickshire in recognition of contribution that cyclists have made in service to their country in times of conflict. Meriden was chosen as the location because it is central in England and therefore not out of reach of most participants, and there is a large obelisk on the green which is the Cyclists War Memorial. There are cycle races and other events during the afternoon.
Helpful Hints
In 2025 it should be on Sunday 18th May (to be confirmed) – follow the link to CTC below (put Meriden in the search box).

Any update on fixing 2019 date at Cyclists Memorial, Meriden? Am trying to organise a long ride to it from Buckinghamshire. Is it 11am on Sunday 19th May?
Hi Rob,
Thanks for your inquiry – the cyclists memorial is one of the more tricky events to find confirmation for and it’s one that I can usually only get the date for quite close to when it’s due to happen so I’ll check out my notes on it when I get home after the weekend then I can see if I can get a date from the people who gave me it last year. Sorry I can’t confirm tonight but I’ll get back to you
Best wishes
Averil
Hi Rob, Just a quick update to let you know I’ve sent inquiries to a couple of contacts about the Memorial and am awaiting replies – will keep you posted,
Averil
Hi Rob,
It’s at 11 am on 19th as we thought – just had it confirmed today, so you can plan your ride with confidence!
Best wishes,
Averil
