.. in Hawaii.
And Colombus Day for much of the rest of the Americas.
For Ivinghoe and its environs, it’s Tea Ride Day. Much like any other Saturday in the year.
So, dig out your steed – whatever it may be – and come and join us on our Voyage of Discovery as we potter around the lanes and villages in search of refreshments. It’s a journey that never fails.
We are planning on a hybrid/mountain bike/”back of the shed special” paced ride plus a separate group of roadies if they want to go faster. As ever, we will be as fast as the slowest rider out. And tomorrow they may be 9 years old, 109* years old pr somewhere in between.
Leaving the Rose & Crown, Ivinghoe at 10am.
* Older riders are very welcome too – whilst under 16’s must be accompanied by a parent/guardian, we don’t insist on this for those over 99…..
Three rides this week from Mr Dave “One Ring” Howe plus a decent weather forecast means there is no excuse not to get out on your bike this Sunday.
As always, please bring a copy of your chosen route with you either on analogue (paper) or digital (GPS computer).
We would also like to wish Clive a very happy 60th this weekend.
Here we are on the eve of Il Lombardia, the race of the falling leaves. Everyone is hanging out their leg warmers hoping that they will be filled by father cycling with an explosive race and Sagan’s swan song with Tinkoff. But will there be nothing left to eat on boxing Lombardia but stale energy bars and bitter regret. Only time will tell. Luckily however the race organisers for tomorrow’s tea ride have opted out of 4500m of climbing around lake como and will instead be taking in the scenic lanes of Buckinghamshire.
Favourites for first back at the pub include Castlemead Dave and Diego Ulissi.
Three routes to delight you with this week.
As usual, our rides begin at the time stated from the Rose and Crown in Ivinghoe. Please bring a copy of your chosen route with you.
The Terrible Tangerine Tricycle trundles through the town.
The Tea-ride takes the tricky trail towards the teacake temple
Though the tricycle trips towards them, threateningly, they trek towards tempting, toasted teacakes.
Tyres turning, taking the tangible tangerine tricycle too, the twittering throng travel towards the thicket.
Taking to the track, they travel towards the tearoom to try the tasty titbits.
Tea. Tomorrow. Ten.
Continuing the testing of our new and, we think improved, format, we will have two groups – one that may or may not venture off the main tarmac but not that adventurously – just a change of scene! And a road group, heading to the same venue.
So, in case you didn’t know… as fast as the slowest riders…. leaving the Rose& Crown at 10am on Saturdays. Any bike, any rider (under 16’s must be accompanied by a parent/guardian).
