Velos rides for Sunday 6th January 2019

Happy New Year ! Our rides this week are structured to see if we can get a sizeable group starting together again, so the 9am ride is a loop to arrive back to join the 10am ride.

9am start, loop back to the pub

10am start, 27 miles

10am start, 18 miles

As usual, please bring a copy of your chosen route with you. We will organise ourselves into groups who want to go at a similar pace. When in a group, please keep an eye out for the rider behind you – if they start to struggle to keep up, give a shout to the rider at the front to ease up a little so that they can get back on.

We always welcome new routes so if you have one, please do share it with us, either on the Velos Rear Hub Facebook group, or via our website.

Velos rides for Sunday 4th November 2018

Firstly, a massive THANK YOU to the wonderful people who rode, supported and donated to the Doing it for Dan ride last weekend. Despite the cold and wet conditions, the banana baton was successfully escorted around the 15 mile / 15 km course for the full 24 hours. It was lovely to see Dan’s dad and sister join about 20 of us for the final leg.

Between us all we raised an amazing £1,200, which is absolutely marvellous – thank you all !

The weather forecast looks good for tomorrow so please have a look at joining us on one of the following rides.

9am start, a nifty 50ish miles

10am start, 35 flat miles

10am start, 22 miles

As always, please bring a copy of your chosen route with you.

P.S. If you haven’t sent in your Doing it for Dan donation yet, please head on over to the Doing it for Dan JustGiving page.
