Hark the herald angels sing, glory to the new born king (of the mountain)

Our Sunday rides this week are the last ones before Christmas, so I’ve asked my friend Carol to write this week’s post. Thanks to our own Scottish Santa Grant for the 10.30 ride option, unfortunatley his little helper hasn’t met the first class post deadline for the 10am ride, so I’ve extended the short route!

Deck the bikes with tinsel and light, fa la la la la, la la la la!
Three fine rides for riders bright, fa la la la la, la la la la!
Last Sunday before Christmas cheer, fa la la, la la la, la la la!
Midweek Christmas—rides stay clear, fa la la la la, la la la la!

Some ride on for five hundred kilometres, fa la la la la, la la la la!
Some prefer five hundred calories, fa la la la la, la la la la!
Cheesy chips and festive beer, fa la la, la la la, la la la!
All are welcome, fast or slow, far or near, fa la la la la, la la la la!

From Ivinghoe Church we all depart, fa la la la la, la la la la!
To Rose and Crown we ride at heart, fa la la la la, la la la la!
Keep it safe with festive flair, fa la la, la la la, la la la!
Tinsel’s fine—just show you care, fa la la la la, la la la la!

Mind those riders who you left behind, fa la la la la, la la la la!
Mince pies have slowed them you will find, fa la la la la, la la la la!
Pace is set by riders who appear, fa la la, la la la, la la la!
No one is dropped this time of year, fa la la la la, la la la la!

Arrive on time, stay safe and sound, fa la la la la, la la la la!
Routes may change as we ride round, fa la la la la, la la la la!
road works on route can be festive too, fa la la, la la la, la la la!
Happy Christmas everyone, your family and you! fa la la la la, la la la la!
