As always, we meet at the Rose and Crown Ivinghoe and recommend bringing a copy of the route.

 2015 Trip to the Peaks

Andy Beezer has put together some plans for a fantastic trip to the Peak District for May 2015. Below are the details of his open invitation –

Who would like to come on a Peak District cycling adventure next May and cycle some of the most beautiful countryside in the UK?

When: Friday 1st to Monday 4th May 2015
Where: Hartington Youth Hostel (http://www.yha.org.uk/hostel/hartington-hall)
What: 3 days of riding (Sat/Sun/Mon) in the Peaks with 2 route options each day, one challenging and another less so, with both routes meeting at a common point for lunch (which means riders can switch groups at lunch time if they wish). One of the challenging rides will go up the famous Winnatts Pass and over Mam Tor.

Team Time Trial

The lovely people at The Cog Cafe in Tring are organising a Team Time Trial event on the 26th October with space for 20 teams consisting of 4 cyclists each.
