Velos Rides for Sunday 19th February 2017
In stark contrast to last week, this Sunday seems almost spring like. So we are back on the road bikes with three routes to choose from.
As always, please bring a copy of your chosen route with you. We depart from the Rose and Crown in Ivinghoe at the time stated above.
Humpty Trumpty…
wanted a wall.
Humpty Trumpty wanted it tall.
Now Emily Kaufman has created her own
And behind it Trumpty news will be thrown.
Fed up of hearing his nonsense each day?
To avoid the man, there now is a way.
Download the filter – it’s free for you
Block out Trump & improve your view.
This is a wall we may all want to build.
To remove the Trump may leave us thrilled.
Sadly this is just an online tool
And still, in the real world, we are stuck with the fool.
You are, of course, entitled to your own political view but given free speech and the lack of other information filtering through to my little brain this week, you are also entitled to my opinion.
The only other useful information I have to impart at this times that the Tea Ride will be departing the Rose & Crown, Ivinghoe at 10am. As fast as the slowest rider. Those wishing to cycle at 10-12 mph, please form a separate group.
Velos Rides for Sunday 12th February 2017
Given the sub-optimal weather conditions at the moment, we have just two rides this week, one on mountain / cross bikes off-road and the other a road bike ride.
10am start, 31 mile road route
We launch from the Rose and Crown in Ivinghoe at 10am. Please bring a copy of your chosen route with you.
It….
…. will be cold.
….will probably be snowing.
….will still go ahead.
And if you don’t fancy the outdoors, “It” by Stephen King is a tremendous read.
The Tea Ride. Saturdays at 10am. Whatever the weather.
As fast as the slowest rider. If 8-10 mph is too slow for you, please feel free to form a second, faster group.
Velos Rides for Sunday 5th February 2017
Two rides to choose from this this week.
As always, please bring a copy of your chosen route with you. We depart from the Rose and Crown in Ivinghoe at the times stated above.
Call for routes : Most of our routes have been planned by either Dave B or Dave H for which we are very grateful. If you have an idea for a new route, please do send it in either via the contact us page on the website, or on our Facebook page.
It may persist…
This Saturday,
And so shall I,
With what I have to say.
The Tea Ride is meant
To be fun for all.
Both young & old
Short & tall.
There are many needs
It tries to meet.
Whilst finding quiet routes
And places to eat.
Helping build confidence &
Teach skills on the seat
(A bit like learning to dance
If you’ve two left feet).
The pace is set
By the slowest one out.
If we go too fast
You just have to shout.
We stop and we start
All around the lanes
Preferably in places where
The traffic load wanes.
But we can’t please all
In one big group.
Our ride styles are different,
We’re an oddball group!
As ride leaders we’re here
To help & support
Guide a group
And share what we’ve been taught.
If your needs aren’t met
And you find it too slow.
Perhaps the main ride
You’ve begun to outgrow.
We don’t want you to leave us
And ride alone.
But we don’t want you to just
Be bored to the bone.
Pick a pal who rides
At a similar pace
And a longer route to our tea stop
You then can trace.
Our motto is simple
And to it we adhere
“As fast as the slowest”
We hope this is clear.
Meeting at the Rose & Crown for a 10am departure.
