Last week was a tremendous challenge with a very strong westerly wind and 3 moderate (tough for me!) hills, again great to see many people out and about, remember new riders always welcome.

Apologies for another late posting as we intended to mail earlier in the week specifically to remind everyone of Dave B’s beginners ride this afternoon at 2pm (sorry Dave), as usual meet at the R&C for a shorter less challenging ride lead by a qualified cycling teacher.  Dave intends to lead these out every other Saturday so for those worried about getting out and about it is an ideal way to start and no lycra in sight!

Tomorrow we head out again as usual 10am from the Rose & Crown.  It is possible that a Chocolate Brownie tasting will be happening mid distance to enable Sally’s recipe to receive the full endorsement of the (i)Vinghoe Velos, so get that oven on Sally!  Apparently it is an integral part of the Beezer cycling diet plan!

LONG RIDE – 26 miles (with a number of bad weather opt outs!)

SHORT RIDE – 15 miles  

Finally one for the diary MARCH 27TH – a number of people have expressed a desire to do the Ian Rennie 35 mile Aylesbury ride, great idea and a good way to build up to the Tour de Vale.  Own entry and sponsorship but good if people planning to do it let us know so we can put details on here!

We are also now on TWITTER @vinghoevelos, just need the technical guys to link it all up please!!

Finally Gary sends his apologies for not making it this weekend, but…….
