Ivinghoe Velos Rides For Sunday 25th October

It’s this Sunday every year that you put your clocks back at 2am to give you an extra hour in bed, the act of disrupting your sleep to get up to perform this task is a slight drawback but at least you can have endless conversations about how dark it is at 5pm in the weeks to come.

If you forget to change your clocks and plan to ride on the 10am route, the 9am group will look after you and offer you support and advice ragarding changing to Greenwich mean time.

Three routes for you to enjoy on what is always the best day of the week, with the best weather booked for you after a wash out on Saturday. We have 52, 33 or 20 miles

thanks to Richard for the 10am route and Dave B for the 10.30am offering.

Ivinghoe Velos Rides For Sunday 18th October 2026

Three routes to choose from this week, the 9am is a tried and tested repeat of last week as only two riders did it. I’d recommend a long biscuit stop or ride slowly to avoid getting to the pub too early! The 10am is a hilly 30 mile trip to Berkhamsted and then over to Dunstable. The 10.30 route is flat 24 miles to Halton Village.

Meet at Ivinghoe church to take part in one of the rides.

Ivinghoe Velos Rides For Sunday 11th October 2026

This weeks rides are for the Young and the old, join us in club kit or whatever you feel comfortable in, lycra or Coton, coloured Green, Brown or White, just the Smart choice for the weather. There could be a Gayle, a Gray day it could even be Dyer as we head Easton or West. Whether you ride carbon, aluminium or Steele, (just not a harley Davison) you are welcome. As usual there will be Uphill and Downes on the rides but we will aim to stay together in our usual cycle Train. On the Hill don’t be a Walker, get yourself in a low gear and Hitch yourself up the final Furlong. We like to Foster a team spirit, riding in a group, we are on the same Page, Joslyn to take a turn on the front. Prior to riding load those carbs, pasta or Rice 1,000 calories are McAnuff? Whether you stay Lowe or you are Keen to climb, just make sure you are Holden on to the group. If you can Garner an advantage in the slipsteam, just Hyde in the bunch as we ride past fields and Underwood, not quite Sherwood forest. We pass farms with Barnes, ringing our Bell down the Lane. If you get a mechanical we won’t call you a Louza or a Walley, we will lend a Hand and O’Tool if needed, is that a Phillips? Helping each other out, that’s the Law! Along with Dave, Richard and How, we Taylor our rides to suit all, the Main aim is enjoyment, the boys have put in a Sterling effort and are Keen to get variety in the rides. We’ve been to the Lee, up the Hale and across the Meadows, even the odd Horsefield. Not quite as far as Bolton yet, Dublin, Fyfe, Putney or across to Holland but you never know! So on Sunday we Spring into action, all are welcome, new riders and returners, Smith and Jones! We have Cleverly put together these rides , not Larkin around, to give you the chance to put the Harmer down and get a King of the mountian, you would be over the Mooney I’m sure…….. and then it’s home James, back to the pub to celebrate, just don’t Hogg the limelight, as you take Demerit, you won’t get a Butler but there will be a warm welcome. They will Cook up some Crisp cheesy chips delivered with a Doyley. Supping a Fuller pint after a hard ride as we Bond over a beer, it could be the life or Riley, you may even say this is ……….Bliss(ett)
