The Historic Churches Ride and Stride is on Sat Sept 8th. Mary is happy to plan a route if anyone is interested and to get sponsor forms (half of the money raised goes to the Church of your choice and the rest to the Historic Churches Trust.) Perhaps those interested could let me or Mary know. We’ll leave from Ivinghoe Church at 10.00am and possibly head for the hills!

Great turnout last Saturday, and sounds like it was a great ride- sorry I missed it. More summer-like weather this week, so come along for another tea ride- 10am at the Rose and Crown, all welcome, no one gets left behind.

First up, many thanks for everyone who came out today on the Saturday ride tea ride. It continues to be popular attracting members as far afield as Antwerp and Long Marston.
Tomorrow we are blessed with a new route designed by our in-house Olympic Routemaster, Dave Howe. It is a tad longer than usual but we are assured by Dave that there are absolutely no ‘hills’ whatsoever. Please make sure you bring a copy of the ride with you either on your GPS device or, in the more traditional way, on a piece of paper. Looks like it will be a warm 25 degrees as well so please bring something to keep you hydrated. The meeting place is the Rose & Crown, Ivinghoe as always and the time is 9:50am.
Stay safe.
Amazing ride last Saturday in the rain, 7 intrepid riders. Well done! Tomorrow the weather looks lovely, don’t forget to apply some suntan lotion. Rose and Crown at 10am for tea, cake and adventure. New riders always welcome.

So there’s every likelihood that the weather will follow suit of the first Saturday – the tea riders report that wellies would have been useful!
It’s a 29 miler this weekend…
Elke & Angela will be aiming to follow the same route at non-road bike speed ……..
Enjoy!
Inspired by the fantastic Olympic cycling? Get on your bikes and head up to the Rose and Crown for 10am to join the tea and cake challenge. All welcome, ride goes at the pace of the slowest rider.

After the euphoria of last Sunday in the Champs Elysees gutted about the Mens Road Race today! CAV you deserved better!
So that was Andrew & Jose’s L2P 2012 adventure and now rebooked for a different route for 2013 for anyone interested look here. In the meantime anyone fancying the beautiful roads of Northern France sooner don’t forget the Normandy Invasion Ride in September
Turning to tomorrow, meeting outside the R&C at 0950 for a 1000 start a little spin for you all before returning for some isotonic rehydration and to cheer on the GB ladies in the Road Race.
Ride safe
Outside the Rose and Crown at 10am for more adventures, tea and cake.

Just to let people know that Mary is planning a more sedate Sunday ride starting at the Rose and Crown at 10am, so anyone who hasn’t been out for a while and is looking for a gentle twenty miles or so, this could be the ride for you. No planned route, but aiming to be back at the pub between 12-12.30. Have a lovely ride.
It looks dry and maybe sunny tomorrow, so 10am outside the Rose and Crown for another tea and cake adventure- see you there.
