2011-04-29 Fri (Bank Holiday) - The Republican Ride

Runnymede and the Magna Carta. Celebrating the first census of Britain, ordered by a conquering French tyrant, to extract as much wealth from the country as possible. On an anti-monarchist ride?

Skully's suggestion of Wat Tyler is good. Canterbury to Blackheath to celebrate the Peasant's Revolt? Approx 60 miles.

I think you are confusing Magna Carta with the Doomsday Boook. Also, William 1 was hardly French. Not in any established meaning of the word.
