CLUB RUN Sunday 14th Feb.


Mick Hazlewood

Recommended Posts

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.

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

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 Shelley

Tim Brueton

Pete Cooper

Moira Blackburn

Bev Abbots

Kevin Rogers

Sean Barker

Mick McClure

Hannah Smith

David Mitchell

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 good ride back via 5 ways Claverdon, Baddersley Clinton and Earlswood mainly wind assisted.
