Saturday 10 am Tea Ride and Winter Kit order

Winter kit order is now open, due to close on 7th November. No more orders until the spring, so if you are hoping for any Velos kit for Xmas, or need some warmer Lycra to get you out this winter, now is your last chance. See the posting on the Rear Hub for details about how to order.

Tea riders, the weather is looking damp tomorrow but the tea ride continues. Meet at the pub at 10. See you there.

I’ve got a bike…

You can ride it if you like.
It’s got a basket, a bell that rings and
Things to make it look good.
I’d give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it.
You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my world.
I’ll give you anything, ev’rything if you want things.
I’ve got a cloak. It’s a bit of a joke.
There’s a tear up the front. It’s red and black.
I’ve had it for months.
If you think it could look good, then I guess it should.
You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my world.
I’ll give you anything, ev’rything if you want things.
I know a mouse, and he hasn’t got a house.
I don’t know why. I call him Gerald.
He’s getting rather old, but he’s a good mouse.
You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my world.
I’ll give you anything, ev’rything if you want things.
I’ve got a clan of gingerbread men.
Here a man, there a man, lots of gingerbread men.
Take a couple if you wish. They’re on the dish.
You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my world.
I’ll give you anything, ev’rything if you want things.
I know a room of musical tunes.
Some rhyme, some ching. Most of them are clockwork.
Let’s go into the other room and make them work.

Nothing like a bit of Pink Floyd on a Friday evening to get you in the mood……

FOR THE TEA RIDE … or course……

Leaving the Rose & Crown, Ivinghoe, 10am EVERY Saturday, come rain, shine, snow, hail, hell or high water (although you might want to bring wellies that day), whether there’s a website/facebook post or not (sorry… sometimes we’re not quite as organised as we appear to be …)

Oh! And it ain’t all girls – not by a long chalk!!

As fast as the slowest rider, always stopping for tea & cake.       #prioritiessorted

Mud on a Monday

For those wanting a taste of some off-piste cycling, don’t forget there’s now a Monday evening not-for-road-bikes ride leaving Pitstone roundabout at 7pm.  This is beginner level “off-road”, roads, tracks, canal paths, nothing too testing – good lights essential this time of year!

Thursday Mud

If you would like a more testing off-road experience then there is local off-road group who depart from Pitstone Roundabout at 7:30pm each Thursday. If you plan to join them, please post your intentions on the Velos Rear Hub Facebook group.
