Ivinghoe Velos Rides For Sunday 28th August

Our three rides this week head in a south west direction, the 9am route is flat with one big lump in the middle up to Christmas Common, a good ride for a group to stay toegther and practise some drafting, the 10am route howls out to Haddenham and the 10.30 ride meanders to Halton.

All three routes return via the Buckland turn, This weekend is a special once a year occasion when “The Buck” pub opens in the Village Hall at Buckland http://www.thebuckpub.co.uk Rather than speed back to the R&C it might be nice for riders to pop in and enjoy a drink there first.

Ivinghoe Velos Rides For Sunday 7th August 2022

Three routes to choose from this week. Thanks to Dave Bembridge for providing the 10am and 10.30 routes.

Our longer ride this week is “Topsy Turvey” visiting some new roads for the Velos, importantly it starts at 8am and includes a coffee stop. We will expect to achieve 15mph+ and ride as a single group. The route does not contain any steep climbs and has less than 3,000 feet over 75 miles. We head north to Turvey using some of NCN 51, the coffee stop is after 50 miles at “fill your cup” in Cranfield. The current weather forecast is for a gorgeous day with a light tail wind for the homeward leg, so start the month with a decent ride here! https://ridewithgps.com/routes/40357720

At 10am our offering is “Trick In The Tail” it’s a 32 mile lumpy ride with just shy of 2,000 feet of climbing. https://ridewithgps.com/routes/40444038

At 10.30am the shortest option for you is “A Lumpy 23 Miles” https://ridewithgps.com/routes/40444091

Please arrive before the planned departure time (note the earlier start time on the long route) with a good knowledge of the planned route.

Roll on Sunday.
