CAMBRIDGE RANDOMLY ACTIVE BIKEHASH
a drinking club with a cycling problem!
Founded October 1994 by
Johnners and Lakey.
In 1938 a small group of ex-pats living in
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, started running a Monday evening 'paper chase' as an excuse
for working off their regular weekend hangovers - they called themselves the Hash
House Harriers after their favourite watering hole. After the War other Hash packs
were formed, so that today there are 1000's throughout the world.
In recent years several Bike Hashes have sprung up with similar objectives: to
follow a flour trail of about 20 miles over all kinds of terrain, and then to
socialise in the pub with your fellow Bashers. It is completely non-competitive
(take it at your own pace), and open to all ages. The post-Bash socialising and
ritual are at least as important as the ride itself. Newcomers should report to
Bash Cash on arrival, who will relieve them of £1.50. There is no club
membership and there are no rules!
