So, the Normandy Invasion has commenced with our band of explorers leaving sort of bright and sort of early this morning. We have evidence that they made it as far as P&O check-in. Thereafter… anyone’s guess. Our first guess? The Bar.

For those staying in sunny Blighty this weekend, we have the all important Tea Ride Churches Ride. The fabulous Angela will be “in charge”, leading the way, keeping an eye on things and potentially offering some useful/important bits of local info along the way. (Another key factor on a Tea Ride.)  She will also gladly collect any sponsorship/donation money for the Historic Churches – specifically this year, we are supporting St Mary’s, Ivinghoe.

We have a 16 mile route planned – with only one upward slope – and several tea and cake stops at the churches taking part along the way.

The planned route is:- Vinghoe Velos Ride & Stride 2013

The ride will leave the Rose & Crown at 10am as usual. Including the stops and allowing for Tea Ride protocol of looking after everyone and keeping the ride together, it is anticipate that the ride will be back at the Rose and Crown by 1pm.
