Gentlemans Time Trial info

The Cog cycling cafe in Tring is running a Gentlemans time trial next Sunday 27th October. It sounds like a lovely friendly event, and Simon from the cafe would be delighted to see a Vinghoe Velos team – or two? The details are in the attached flyer.

Teams of five are needed, and it’s the time of the fourth person back that counts so it’s an interesting team challenge.

It might be a good idea for anyone interested to use the Velos Facebook page to find other interested people. I think that you need to sign up fairly quickly.

Good Luck!

Sunday sponsored bike ride- there’s still time to sign up.

Rose and Crown, Ivinghoe.
Charity Cycle Ride
Sunday 11th August 2013.
Raising funds for Cancer UK

This will be the main Velos ride this Sunday, so it would be great to see a good turn out to support this worthy cause. PLEASE NOTE START TIMES FOR THE RIDE YOU ARE INTERESTED IN. The format is simple- you pay £15 to enter, no sponsorship money to collect, and the Rose and Crown provide a BBQ afterwards. We need people to sign up if they are interested so that the Rose and Crown know how many to cater for. There are three different routes offered- 10 miles, 25 miles both 1:30 start times, and 56 miles 11 am start. At the moment there are about 25-30 riders signed up, so get your places booked.

Register here and put the distance you wish to cycle in the comments box:

Thank you for supporting this event.

Meet tomorrow at 10 am outside the Rose & Crown for a gentle bike ride for tea and cake followed by a gentle bike ride back tot the pub for further refreshment. We should be back by 12:30.

Also advance news about Elke’s Birthday Tea Ride on the 10th of August. We will cycle up to Ashridge where we will be met by a support vehicle full of cake and soft drinks for a picnic. Put the date in your diaries, and let me (Sally) or Elke know if you can come to make sure that there will be enough cake for all.

Corrections to the ride around Luton route

Dear All,

I have found 2 minor errors with the mapping for tomorrows ride. I
have corrected the route (as of 9:15pm) and as inthe previous email
from John it can be downloaded from:

http://gb.mapometer.com/cycling/route_3357621.html

For your information:

The first is in Tingrith at about 21 miles and is a very minor change.
Don’t turn left into the drive of the house – follow your nose and you
will rejoin the route.

The second is at 28 miles after crossing the A6. Don’t turn right over
a field – keep straight and follow signs to Lilley.

Regards

Andy
