Does a proper shirt make us real cyclists?

Bikes, Beer & Banter from The Old Sun

Bikes, Beer & Banter is what what Ampthill Cyclists is all about. Now in our 18th year, we are an informal club who ride purely for the craic. Ages (17-60+), fitness & commitment vary, but we share one thing in common- we love cycling (as well as the odd beer & a bit of banter) . We meet at The Old Sun, Ampthill on Thursday evenings from spring to late summer. Setting off at around 6.15, we ride between 20- 30 miles, stopping for a beer or two on the way back to the Old Sun for a couple more.

We're pretty much an autonomous collective- though we do have an elected (press ganged?) chairman.

New members are always welcome.

If you are looking for time trials and training we are not for you but if you enjoy Bikes, Beer & Banter come along on Thursday.

25th June Les Bicyclette et Les Boules

In keeping with tradition there was a hiatus in the cycling calendar as we attended Ampthill Festival Boules competition.
We entered three teams and for the second year running one of them triumphed- Bicyclette Deux beating Whose Round? in a well fought final- Well done Loren, Mick & Everton.
How strange is sport?- Bicyclette Une had comfortably beaten Bicyclette Deux in the round robin but were then soundly thrashed by Whose Round? in the semi final. Not sure what happened to Bicyclette Trois.
Any way, it was a great night- thanks to organiser Duckett of the Queens Head- Some how I seem to have acquired a spare boules so if anybody is missing one give me a shout.
