10.30 ride: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/54011929

10am ride https://ridewithgps.com/routes/54028308

Two routes for Sunday, the forecast is for warmer temperatures with a wind from the west. Both routes should get riders back to the pub in good time. Your choice is 19 miles at 10.30 or 30 miles at 10am

As usual we meet at Ivinghoe church and new riders are welcome to tag along, we aim to leave no one behind with a non-drop approach to allow everyone to benefit from the group effort. Being strung out 10 bike lengths apart isn’t efficent- a herd of buffalos can only move as fast as the slowest bufffalo, so give our slowest buffalos a bit of wind reduction assistance. Of course friendly sheep run in a herd while the lonley lion runs alone, if you are a lion we will meet you at the pub, where we might speak to you.

Once we get past the slightly wintery conditions we will look to increase ride distances and if rider numbers are high enough, offer three route options, current conditions and also having “the Majorcan Magnificent Seven” away enjoying a holiday means we are keeping options limited to increase the chance of a groupetto forming.
