Last week we enjoyed a strong turn out of 8 riders at 10am, the route had a few hills and the group did well to stay together along the course until the final sprint over the beacon. The pace was an average of 14.5mph (that’s 23.3kmph for the continentals in the group). It felt good to have a cohesive bunch and catch up with the 10.30 riders at the pub after they completed their slightly abridged version of the route.

Still in winter mode we continue with two options this week, riders old and new are welcome to join our non-drop groups. On Sunday we head around Leighton Buzzard in the opposite direction to this usual route. The routes are flatter than last week AND incorporate an optional 1st Sunday of the month coffee stop at Pecks farm shop before we get to Eggington.

Rides start at Ivinghoe church and finish at the Rose and Crown pub for a debrief and some refreshments.
