Velos Ride for Sunday 8th December 2013

This week’s ride has been kindly mapped out by Andy Beezer. The route takes us to Markyate and back via some interesting lanes whilst covering just under 35 miles in the process. We meet at the Rose and Crown from 9:45am with a planned departure time of 10am.

Velos Xmas meal 13th December

Can anyone who hasn’t made their meal choices yet make sure they do by tomorrow (Sunday) lunchtime please? It’s a hard task as it means going into the Rose and Crown- could be combined with a drink? If you can’t make it to the pub this weekend, the menu is on the pub website so you can give them a ring and let them have your choices. Also if you want to go but haven’t yet paid a deposit, there may be room for one or two more if you get in quickly. Hope to see lots of you there.

Velos Ride for Sunday 1st December 2013

This week’s ride has been suggested by Dave “That’s not a proper hill” Howe. We start as always from the Rose and Crown at 10am.

The Route

‘Break a Leg’

Christmas town

“Big (Castlemead) Dave is about to be one of an amateur dramatic group, putting on a play about an amateur dramatic group, putting on a play called, A Christmas Carol (Scrooge and all), at The Court Theatre, Station Road, Tring, between 4-7th December. All players assume about 6 different characters with varying degrees of success. There is much chaos and a degree of cross dressing (but no lycra!), so if this kind of theatrical pre-pantomime pantomime is your thing (and why would it not be?), we would love you to support our little play in your lovely local venue.  I thank you 

Contact Dave direct to reserve your tickets in person, 07973 411176, or go online at http://www.courttheatre.co.uk/

He’d love to see you at The Court 🙂

As usual we meet at The Rose and Crown tomorrow at 0945 for a 1000 start.  Thank you to the Dave’s (Howe and Bembridge) for rides offered up and another Dave (Mander) for the inspiration for tomorrow’s little 36 mile jaunt around Hemel to places many of us have never ventured.

The ROUTE

Mudguards

It’s that time of year again, the roads are dirty and bikes and riders come home covered in muck. Protect yourself, your bike, and most importantly your fellow riders by fitting mudguards. If you enjoy riding in a group it is important to have mudguards.

These are very easy to fit and also very easy to remove again in spring so no excuses: http://www.crudproducts.com/products/roadracer

There is even a video to show you how to fit them. Then come out and enjoy some winter cycling!
