Tea Ride again….

Hi – Hi! We’re your Tea Ride Girls – Ah-huh –
And have we got news for you – You better listen!
Get ready, all you lonely cyclists
And leave those motor cars at home. – Alright! –
Humidity is rising – Barometer’s getting low
According to all sources, the R&C’s the place to go
Cause tomorrow, not for the first time
Just about five to ten
For the next time in history
We’re gonna do the Tea Ride again.
Tea Ride again! Hallelujah! – Tea Ride again! Amen!

And we’ve a choice for you this week!  There will be 2 groups to choose from.
Our regular “as fast as the slowest rider, any bike goes” ride and also a mainly mountain/hybrid bikes group, as a couple of our juniors are planning on riding tomorrow and we will do a couple of stretches of cycle paths & tarmac’d canal paths. (Elke would take her road bike, but if you’re a bit precious about your tyres…..)
Tea Destination:- Bluebells in Marsworth
Meeting at the Rose & Crown, Ivinghoe for a 10am departure please!

Bonjour, mes amis…

Donc, tout le monde va arriver au Rose & Crown, Ivinghoe pour departir a 10h, le samedi, pour chercher un cafe pour thé et gâteau.

Bon voyage!
