This week we have three route options for you, all starting from outside Ivinghoe church, the 9am is a little shorter than usual, it’s the ghost hunt ride, so with a little stopping to answer questions should take the usual 3 to 3.5 hours. This ride doesn’t need to be raced, so anyone wanting to ride the extra few miles at a steady pace is welcome! Details of questions can be found on a previous post and via facebook. If the thought of the X rated ghost outing scares you then the 10am ride offers a family friendly rolling 29 miles and at 10.30 it’s a “suitable for the kids” 21 mile jaunt with gentle climbs.

9am lets go ghost hunting https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48071943

Hopefully we can all make it back unscaved and enjoy a spot of refreshment at the local hostelry

The flat earth society look upon those who are not members as globalists who have a strange ball theory. Obviously this is conspiratorial nonsense, anyone who studied Pythagoras at school will have built up a deep distrust of the man who suggested the world was round back in the sixth century BC, I mean how could he have seen it back then, they didn’t even have bicycles let alone space rockets?

This Sunday we prove that the world is indeed flat with three routes starting from Ivinghoe church and finishing back in Ivinghoe conveniently close to the Rose And Crown.

The longer route is 15 miles longer than the medium route and the final 15 miles are the same route back into ivinghoe. The biggest gradient we tackle is 3% so the rides should be (relatively) fast!

There is also a SATURDAY ride which starts after the tour of Britain departs Northampton taking riders out to Daventry before returning to see the elite men return for a sprint finish on Derngate. Northampton University 11am: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48157880
