The 9am and 10am rides start from the Rose and Crown in Ivinghoe. Please bring a copy of your chosen route with you.
Meet outside the Rose and Crown for this weeks tea ride
Last Sunday was a bit of a washout for the 10am rides so we are putting the same ones out this week. The 9am start is different from last week but again is a Mr Howe Special.
As usual, we start from the Rose and Crown in Ivinghoe at the time stated above.
If you haven’t yet signed up for the Tour de Vale bike ride, be aware that online entries close very shortly. A few of our number will be riding to the start on the day with a view to extending the 100k route to 100 miles if you include the bit there and back.
First up, some fantastic news from the closed road Tour of Cambridge last week. Our Sarah Hawken rode an incredibly fast ride and end up qualifying for the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships in Australia this September.
Congratulations Sarah, you did the Ivinghoe Velos proud !
Three rides on offer this week for Sunday morning.
9am start, 49 mile “How End” route
As always, please bring a copy of our chosen route with you. We depart at the times shown form the Rose & Crown in Ivinghoe.
So, Elke & Sally are nowhere to be seen tomorrow… but rest assured, we have a combination of Sarah, Mary & John stepping up to be your illustrious leaders (allegedly ….) & last markers.
We shall be heading off around the back of Tring, through Drayton Beauchamp and over to Wilstone for tea & cake. Then back through Wilstone village, Puttenham, Long Martson, Cheddington & Pitstone – so nice and flat and “user friendly” for everyone.
Please be ready to leave the Rose & Crown, Ivinghoe at 10am!
We have four rides on offer this week, three on the road and one on the tow path.
8am start, 51 mile canal tow path excursion to London, back on the train.
This ride starts from Pistone Warf. It will be stopping at Lock 81 for refreshments ( Bacon Roll or Cheesey Chips ) and enjoying a beer or more and lunch at the Bree Louise next to Euston Station. Led by Mr Bembride and will be at a leisurely pace.
Please bring a copy of the route with you. We depart at the times shown from the Rose and Crown in Ivinghoe (apart for this week’s 8am ride which starts from Pitstone Warf).
