It is with great sadness that we have to report the news that Doug Clark passed away earlier today aged 85. Doug was a keen cyclist and a wonderful friend of the Ivinghoe Velos. Up until recently he would join us on our post ride refreshments at the pub sharing his tales of tough rides and races. The picture above of Doug aged 18 really does capture the how great this man was. Please join us in sending our love and sympathy to his family and especially his devoted wife Daphne.

Goodbye Doug, we will all miss you.
