Good to see so many Ivinghoe Velos making it to the church mid ride last week, to observe remembrance Sunday. This week we have three routes in Beautiful Bucks for you.

Midweek rides are social with refreshment stops planned in.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Our usual tradition is to stop our ride at 11am to observe the remembrance day silence and pay our respects to people who have died in wars around the world. The aim is to return to Ivinghoe church for 11am and then continue on a common final loop. This also gives riders the chance to join us at 11.10am to complete the last section of the ride after our stop at the church.

Due to the importance of timings this weeks rides will leave exactly at the start time, so please give yourself time to arrive early.

On Sunday our aim is for routes to take in the remembrance day ceremony at 11am, details will follow in the usual weekly post.

As last week was a bit of a wash out, this weeks routes might seem familiar!

So firework weekend is upon us! I’m sure our routes with dazzle you as you rocket along the Buckinghamshire Countryside on your winter (Catherine) Wheels.

Three routes to choose from 9am, 10am and 10.30am. All meeting at the church in Ivinghoe

Please bear in mind the chance of adverse conditions through the winter months will mean we will need to be agile with rides, adapting to the safest options, later starts, chunkier tires, etc. This Sunday is set to be dry and mild, so hopefully a better prospect than last weekend. Your safety is your own responsibility any rides posted under the Ivinghoe Velos Banner have not been risk assessed or backed by insurance, assurance or mechanical & medical support.

Thursday group ride, 9.30am from Ivinghoe church, nearly 35 miles, with a stop off at college lake for coffee on the way home https://ridewithgps.com/routes/37914700

Our Halloween Rides are a real treat. No mater witch route you pick, you will be spellbound on a magical Buckinghamshire adventure, with the odd evil hill. Pumpkin up your tyres and ghost along to the church in Ivinghoe at your expected start time. The 9am route may have the odd trick up it’s sleeve, including I believe the Velos first ever assent of the 17% pond park road in Chesham. Remember the clocks change, so don’t be the prince of darkness and get up at the right time! Routes provided by the two Daves, alas neither of us can be out this Sunday, we will miss the silver bullet so if you look in a mirror and say our name 5 times you might beat us on a few segments. That will really be a stake through the heart.
