Three easy rides to break you into the New Year nice and gently. All rides will be at a relaxed pace to ensure no one gets left behind regardless of how long they have been off the bike over the holiday period.
As always, please bring a copy of your chosen route and arrive 10 minutes before the departure times stated above.
A very Merry Christmas to all of our Ivinghoe Velos Riders.
Dave “One Ring” Howe has suggested that we go for a “Not the 9 O’clock Ride” tomorrow (the 26th December, Boxing Day) . 25 gentle miles starting at 10am from the Rose and Crown and back before midday. Route to be decided on the day, but will head out towards Owlswick. He promises “nothing too quick or hilly”.
Many thanks to everyone who attended the Velos Christmas gathering on Friday. It was great to see so many of both the Saturday and Sunday riders enjoying a bite and a beverage together.

As we normally do on Remembrance Sunday, our rides will stop at a church, just before 11am, to pay our respects. This year there has been some discussion on the Rear Hub about our plans and it has been decided to stop at a the church in Ivinghoe rather than the one in St Leonards.
After stopping, the routes are the same so it would be great if we were able to ride as one group for the final 16 miles. Many thanks to Dave Howe for creating the routes for this week.
