Three routes for your enjoyment this Sunday. Also a reminder that on Friday 12th December there will be a pre-Christmas drinks gathering at the rose and crown for regular riders and old friends!

Being the first Sunday of the month the 9am ride will stop for coffee and cake. The winter 9am rides are suitable for anyone who can maintain a 15 mph average in a group, the pace is not pushed in the same way as when summer bikes are in use. Extra clothing and slightly deminished winter fitness mean we take a more steady approach! This week we ride just under 40 miles on “the twin peaks” of The Crong and The Hale, steady climbing then regrouping will take place at the tops so we can ride as a group on the flat! Our coffee stop is planned for Nanna Cake Cafe just before Bridego bridge, so not far to ride after the cake stop!

At 10am riders can enjoy the majority of the 9am route with the second peak taken out, The Crong will still be a good challenge on this 32 mile option. As with all three routes we start at Ivinghoe church and return to the rose and crown for some rehydration.

Our 10.30 offering from Grant is a 23 mile double loop going out as far as Bedgrove, this route, with just the one climb up Tring Hill, should have riders back at the rose and crown knocking on the door at opening time!
