We are not a cycle club, there is no membership fees, riders can come along as often or as little as they like. However this relies upon regular riders turning up, if everyone stopped riding with us regularly there might not be a group to ride with when you want one! We are a group of friends enthusiastic about riding bikes with a good knowlege of local routes and the mechanical working of our bikes. New and returning riders are most welcome particularly if you like fairly informal group riding and buy the beers when we return to the pub. We have various distance and pace options to suit most casual riders. While our quickest rides can go along at a reasonable pace, If you are training for the Olympics (2028) we are probably not the group for you! Our top speed average rarely exceeds 17mph while our lower mileage rides are often around 14mph, depending on how much climbing is involved! Riding in a group saves a good 20% of your usual solo effort so join the group for some easier miles!

Rides Start and finish in Ivinghoe, at the junction by the church, our general aim is to leave no one behind unless they are dead set on wanting to continue solo (we often hear riders say they are happy to continue on their own but we know it’s always easier in a group so we moderate the pace to get everybody back, or split into pace groups). Having the route saved into your bike Sat Nav helps keep the group together if there are any splits due to traffic and helps when you are taking your turn on the front.

While we meet and complete suggested routes each week, we can make no guarentees about traffic safety and road conditions, anyone joining us must be responsible for their own safety, ensure their equipment is in good order and ride with due caution. We occasional need to divert from the planned course due to road closures but try not to increase our distances too much.
