Mick Hazlewood Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Destination for this Sundays ride Lavender Hall Fisheries, Balsall Common.Dependant on the weather we can take a long or short route but we can look forward to good food when we get there.9.30 at the Forrest, but can I suggest we delay the start maybe by half an hour to allow for the cold weather and roads to be safer. Watch the forum for updates on Sunday morning and before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarashell Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Hillers for the B run will be quite far enough on such a cold day. So let's say 10 o'clock at the Tardebigge to be on the safe side.John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Barker Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 I'll make my way to Tardebigge for 10 to head for Hillers with the B run.If I'm late don't wait I'll either meet you on the road or at the cafe. Be particularly vigilant on the way as it will drop below freezing during the night outside the towns and city and there could well still be patches of ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Barker Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 I was a late starter so hightailed it down to the cafe and just got there as B run were packing up and readying to hit the road.I did however stay a spell in the company of Dave Mitchel and Chris Kent whereupon we put the world to rights. Today's B Run contingent consisted of John ShelleyTim BruetonPete CooperMoira BlackburnBev AbbotsKevin RogersSean BarkerMick McClureHannah SmithDavid Mitchell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave and ruth Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 I was also very late starting. On the way to Hiller's I passed Dave Mitchell on his way home.The next cyclist i saw was wearing a Saracen top and had just left Hiller'sNo Saracens there when I arrived. I will have to pedal faster next time .Do I deserve my first point of 2016.Ruth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisP Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Another cold but bright day.Wind north easterly Garmin down to 1.5 wind chill makes it feel much colder.Set out to meet the 'A's at Lavender Hall.Start 9:50 ish head out to Solihull, Coventry, Tile Hill and Kennelworth.Arrive at Fisheries 11:45 no signs of the group.Order tea and toast think about which way to return home alone.12 oclock they turn up at least a few wheels to follow back.A few empty plates as usual.A good ride back via 5 ways Claverdon, Baddersley Clinton and Earlswood mainly wind assisted.
