Caffe Velo Verde Here it is.....the long awaited (for you and us!) events programme. We’ve had a number of routes and events in our back-pockets for months now, just waiting for the conditions to release them into the wild.....so here’s our cautiously optimistic events calendar with the almost touchable 24th of April so close you can almost taste waffle....

Aren’t calendars great? The principal as we know, is to write important stuff down so we don’t forget important stuff.
Bill and Dave’s excellent adventures went on hold after the New Year’s Day Getlostathon extravaganza due to this tedious pandemic and we have been like caged tigers waiting for any form of lockdown relaxation. There are several vital calendar insertions to be made; so, pencils out, lick your tips and insert away – More details on everything in due course.
Good Friday and Easter Monday – CVV open as usual for takeaways 😀
Wed. 14th April – Tables out and proper crockery at CVV HQ! Hurrah.
Sat 24th April – The day before Liege-Bastogne-Liege, the oldest and last monument in the calendar is the day of the N2C/CVV gravel ride a homage to all things Belgian. Distances of 40, 25 and 10 miles to accommodate different appetites, ages and fitness levels. It’s not a race – it’s a ride with family or chums with a post ride carrot of Belgian waffles and beer at CVVHQ (kids either claim beer for parents and go thirsty or get some Belgian hot chocolate instead).
Waffle (noun) – Gaufres a la Flamande in Flemish which has to be said with excessive phlegm.
Waffle (verb) – to write or speak using a lot of words without saying anything interesting or important. That’ll be me then.
Sat 29th May – N2C/CVV Giro d’Italia themed ride - with post ride enjoyability.
Thurs 24th June – Evening talk by Chris Sidwells - nephew of Tom Simpson and author – talking about the history of the TDF.
Wed 7th July – CVV TDF wine tasting – sampling wine from the areas the peleton passes through.
Aug/Sept – DTBF – N2C/CVV Vuelta themed ride – with post ride enjoyabilty.
There will be a maximum of 50 participants on our rides. We will also limit numbers for the TDF talk and wine tasting. If popular we may do another one of each.
Details of how to sign up for each event will follow…..
Cost will be minimal – we want enjoyment, not to retire on the proceeds.
