Rides for bank holiday Sunday

rides

It may be the last stage of the Giro d’Italia on Sunday but all the action will be Ivinghoe with plenty of rides to suit all tastes…

Dave ‘Chaves’ Howe has designed a rather clever 8am ride that can be either 100km or 100 miles depending on how much time you have – with the split coming in Long Crendon after passing through Thame. Do come and ride but please don’t do a Kruijswijk.

100 miles route: http://www.mapometer.com/cycling/route_4321211.html

The plan is to ride together at a steady 15 mph with a cafe break at Treacles tea room in Thame.

Meanwhile Dave ‘Nibali’ Bembridge has used all his shark-of Messina-like experience to come up with a pair of 10am rides…

The question is – which Dave will be wearing pink tomorrow?

Next Sunday there is a great opportunity to get a century ride in. Dave “There’s Only One Ring” Howe has cooked up a great route and promises a refuelling stop half way round. You can find more details over on the Velos Facebook group, The Rear Hub.

It Maybe May…

And it maybe a nice day, albeit it maybe a little chilly…. but the Tea Ride will go forth!

You may join us and you may bring any bicycle …

There may not be a Sally or an Elke to lead you out so you may choose your leader & destination if they’re absent!

You may have fun, you may see the sights & you may travel the lanes.  What you MUST do is  stop for Tea & Cake.  (Else there’s no point to a Tea Ride!!)

You MUST also be at the Rose & Crown, Ivinghoe by 10am on Saturday.  With your bike!
