Three routes for Ivinghoe Velos riders to enjoy this Sunday. The shortest option is a 21 mile route as far as Cubblington. The medium route at 10am is 32 miles and takes riders to Ballinger. The longer option this Sunday starts at 9am and takes riders on a 47 mile journey to Thornton and back.

Any questions, concerns or requests for help can be posted on our facebook group page, the Ivinghoe Velos Rear hub, so riders who are intending to be out on the routes can chip in.

The usual three route options for riders this Sunday, we have a 9am 46 mile option, a 10am 35 mile option and a 10.30am 22 mile option. All rides start from the bus shelter in front of Ivinghoe church. As a general rule the longer the route the faster the group but we don’t break any land speed records. The routes are road bike specific, there may be the odd bit of cycle lane included.

Last week the 9am long route averaged 16.2 mile per hour (moving speed) while the 10.30 short route averaged 13.5 miles per hour, the 10am medium route, which no one attempted last week, should fall somewhere between those two. Join a ride at a pace and distance you enjoy, if you ride faster than 17mph when riding solo we would suggest you find a club more suitable to your abilities- or join us a mountain bike!

Thanks to Richard F for putting together the short and medium routes. If anyone would like to be a guest route planner so we get the odd different perspective on routes please let us know!

As we move into the winter months we will scale back the longer route and move the start time back to 10am, we may squeeze one more slightly longer 9am coffee stop ride at the start of October if the weather is looking favorable.

Please check out our facebook page “The Ivinghoe Velos Rear Hub” for ad-hoc midweek rides and maybe if you are planning to get out you could invite others to join in with a post on there.

Three routes to choose from this Sunday. The forecast at the time of writing is for a dry sunny start to the morning, with showers arriving late morning and a breeze from the south.

At 9am we head South first to complete the Pednor Loop before heading back for a trip up to Wingrave it’s a 44 mile route designed to arrive back at Ivinghoe Velos HQ soon after midday. At 10am it’s a 35 mile round route to Winslow, back via Swanbourne. At 10.30am riders will do a 21 mile route to Berkhamsted and back via Ashridge. Thanks to Richard F for providing the 35 and 21 mile routes.

The Ivinghoe Velos is 15 years old. The first ever ride was planned at the Rose & Crown back in July 2010 and the first actual route published was on 1st August 2010, there were two route options- a medium (14 miles) and a long (21 miles) Riders were invited to dust off their choppers and remember to pack a puncture repair kit as well as a drink in the ruck sack.

Always a group of friends, never a club, we have been on many adventures over the years, cycling has enriched all our lives and riding with others has added to the fun, so if you can join one of our group rides you will be continuing the traditions. The motto is no one gets left behind which requires riders to moderate the pace to accommodate all riders in the group as well as riders being realistic about the ride they join. We welcome new riders who are keen to try riding on the roads in a group, if you can maintain 15mph on your own you should be fine to ride in our longer group rides….. If you can maintain 17mph on your own we are probably a bit slow for you! The group will only continue with your participation, so if you want a group to ride with in the future, come out when you can!

Roll on Sunday.

The usual three route options this week, with the longer route being a coffee stop ride.

Inspired by the pro riders on the tour of Britain taking on our local roads on Thursday, get out on Sunday and enjoy a group ride with the ivinghoe Velos.
