Sunday Ride

Following on from last Sunday’s fantastic ride in beautifully clear, autumn weather, the forecast looks dry again for tomorrow so, if you haven’t been out for a while, it’s going to be a great day to get back in the saddle.

Many thanks to Dan who has volunteered to lead the steady paced ride (with stops if needed).

As always, we plan to depart from the Rose & Crown at 10am.

Velos Route

Mid-week Rides

We would also like to remind everyone that we have regular mid-week, off-road rides on mountain bikes that are open for anyone to join.
On Tuesday evenings the ‘Pitstone Loonies’ meet at the corner of Rushendon Furlong and Marsworth Road at 7:30pm. These rides are energetic and can be technically challenging so would appeal to more experienced riders.

Thursday evenings is when the ‘Pitstone Puddlers’ meet. These rides are far less challenging and so suit off-road riders of all abilities. We start at Pitstone Roundabout (where Marsworth road meets Vicarage Road) at 7pm.

With both of these rides, good lights, a helmet and a spare tube are essential equipment.

Meeting at 10 am outside the Rose and Crown for a nice easy bike ride, all welcome. We should be back at the pub at around midday.

Poppies on and here we go.  Meeting at the R&C from 0945 for a prompt departure of 1000 on Sunday, we head out to pay tribute to and remember those who gave us the liberty to enjoy all we do.  A 15 minute break will be had at 1100 where we aim to, again, join the congregation at a local church.

The revised route – Thanks Martin for the reminder of the poor road!

More cycling, tea and cakes (beer and bacon rolls for some..), route to be decide in the morning. Bring a raincoat!!!

Tonight sees Ivinghoe Entertainments laying on a Firework Spectacular commencing at 1800 with the fire then being lit at 1845 followed by the fireworks at 1915.  Of course we look forward to the Guy on the fire and wonder if this one could be the winner!

So having enjoyed the fireworks it will be time for a sherbet or two in the Rose and Crown where Gary and ‘the other one’ will be welcoming everyone for some essential rehydration in readiness for a spin of the pedals tomorrow morning meeting as usual at 0945, again at the Rose and Crown.

The Route!

Don’t forget to check out detail of the Christmas Bash, kindly organised by Jayne and yes you’ve guessed it its at the Rose and Crown!

Tomorrow we will again do a circular ride finishing at the Rose and Crown for tea and cake (or beer and bacon rolls for those who prefer). We should be back at the pub by 12.00 at the latest for those who have other commitments, probably a little earlier. Speed of the ride as always at the pace of the slowest rider, no one gets left behind. All welcome.

See you tomorrow.

This week, by way of a change, I am going to go on and on and on. Details of the Christmas party are shown on the events page. Go there now.

We here at Velos Towers have word from the Met Office that tomorrow’s ride will be somewhat fresh due to the recent drop in temperature. Please do wrap up warm and join us for what we hope will be a good ride to help shake off those colds and general malaise that hits us around this time of year.

As always, we will be meeting at 9:50am with plans to depart around 10am.

The Route

Tomorrows ride will focus on tea and cake at the Rose and Crown, so anyone who needs to be back promptly, we will be back before midday.

See you at 10 outside the Rose and Crown.
