As ever, the Tea Ride will set sail at 10am from the Rose and Crown. It looks like it’s bikes rather than boats this weekend however, the roads are getting a bit skanky and a lot of the hedges have had a haircut so if you have something a bit more substantial than a road bike it might be time to dust off the cobwebs…..

Saturday 10 am Tea Ride
Tomorrow looks like a very windy one, so Elke and I have an off road adventure in mind. Suitable for any bike that can do towpaths. Anyone who wishes to go out on a road bike, we can tell you where to meet us for the tea and cake part of the adventure.

Velos Rides for Sunday 29th November 2015
Three rides to tempt you with this week, again hand crafted by Mr Dave “The Cheese Master” Bembridge.
As always, please do bring a copy of your chosen route with you.
Velos Rides for Sunday 22nd November 2015
The forecast is dry but a little bit cooler than recent rides, so it may be time to hang up those bib shorts and go for longs. Three more routes this week from Dave “Let’s go round again” Bembridge.
As usual, please bring a copy of your chosen route.
It’s getting a little “Frozen”…
Sally:
Elka?
(Knocking: Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock)
Do you wanna build a snowman?
Come on lets go and play
I never see you anymore
Come out the door
It’s like you’ve gone away-
We used to be best buddies
And now we’re not
I wish you would tell me why!-
Do you wanna build a snowman?
It doesn’t have to be a snowman.
(Knocking)
Do you wanna build a snowman?
Or ride our bikes around the halls
I think some company is overdue
I’ve started talking to
the pictures on the walls-
(Hang in there, Joan!)
It gets a little lonely
All these empty lanes,
Do you wanna come for a bike ride…? 10am from the Rose & Crown, EVERY Saturday….
Velos Rides for Sunday 15th November 2015
Dave “The Map Master” Bembridge has again crafted three routes for us this week.
It is likely to be a bit breezy out and about tomorrow so please take extra care on the roads, especially when passing gaps in hedges.
Thanks Abigail…..
It’s a wee bit damp and windy out there this weekend so wellies & waterproofs for a ride tomorrow!
Sadly, Sally & Elke have other commitments and it’s looking unlikely that they’ll be out to play – but don’t that let stop the rest of you!
(Wo)man up and get out there! Leaving the Rose & Crown, Ivinghoe, at 10am.
Velos Rides for Sunday 8th November 2015
As is the norm now on remembrance Sunday, we have rides that aim to rendezvous at St Leonards Church just before 11am to join the (very welcoming) congregation for two minutes silence.
Many thanks to Dave Howe for planning the routes this week.
Remember, remember….
The 7th of November,
Cup & saucer or mug & teapot.
I know of no reason
Why Tea Riding season
Should ever be forgot.
For the record, Tea Riding season is all year round, regardless of the weather. (And whether or not there is a Tea Ride post!)
Leaving the Rose & Crown, weekly, at 10am on Saturdays.
Be there … or be a damp squib.
