Three rides on offer this week, all crafted by the fair hand of Mr Dave “Fromage” Bembridge.

9am start, 57 miles

10am start, 30 miles

10am start, 19 miles

All rides begin from the Rose and Crown in Ivinghoe at the time stated. Please do bring a copy of your chosen route with you either on paper, or digitally.

And it maybe a nice day, albeit it maybe a little chilly…. but the Tea Ride will go forth!

You may join us and you may bring any bicycle …

There may not be a Sally or an Elke to lead you out so you may choose your leader & destination if they’re absent!

You may have fun, you may see the sights & you may travel the lanes.  What you MUST do is  stop for Tea & Cake.  (Else there’s no point to a Tea Ride!!)

You MUST also be at the Rose & Crown, Ivinghoe by 10am on Saturday.  With your bike!

Only two weeks after we were being snowed on, summer has most definitely arrived. We have a great choice of rides this week include probably our most popular routes, The Benson Finger. Note that there are three different start times.

8am start, The Benson Finger

9am start, 45 miles to Winslow led by Liz

10am start, 32 miles via Cublington

Please bring a copy of your chosen route with you. We launch from the Rose and Crown in Ivinghoe at the times stated.

Meet at the Rose and Crown for a gentle bike ride ( at least one hill, maybe two…) and a tea and cake stop. Be there by 10.

Our three rides for this Sunday are –

9am start, 52 lumpy miles

10am start, 35 lumpy miles

10am start, 16 miles with just the one lump

As always, we depart from the Rose and Crown in Ivinghoe at the time stated above.

Our plan is to ride together in groups, so we ask anyone who is with us to keep an eye on the rider behind them. If they are starting to drop off, give a call to the rider in front to slow the pace.

Thanks again to Dave and Dave for sending the routes in.

Yes, ok, a little tardy with the post this week!

But as everyone knows, the Tea Ride goes forth whatever the weather and whether or not an official inoire goes out.

10am, Rose & Crown, Ivinghoe.

Don’t be late!!

Three rides from the Two Daves this week.

9am start, 60 miles to Blackthorn and back

10am start, 29 miles to Wendover, the long way round

As usual, please do bring a copy of the route with you.

Not just me – this post too….

Dear Dusty Springfield….. (And our lovely Daphne…) a Tea Ride tribute will be departing as usual at 10am from the Rose & Crown on Saturday morning.

I don’t know what it is that makes me love you so
I only know I never want to let you go
‘Cause you’ve started something
Oh, can’t you see?
That ever since we met
You’ve had a hold on me
It happens to be true
I only want to ride with you…

It doesn’t matter where we go or what we do
I want to spend each Saturday with you
Oh, look what has happened with just one ride
I just don’t want to stay at home and hide
It’s crazy but it’s true
I only want to ride with you

You stopped and smiled at me
And asked if I’d care to enrol
I came along for tea & cake
And it’s all so great for my soul

Now listen honey,
I just want to ride with you guys everywhere
As long as we’re altogether, honey, I don’t care
‘Cause we’ve started something
Oh, can’t you see?
That every time we meet
You have a hold on me
No matter where we go
I only want to ride with you
