NOTE I WAS THERE MAN BEHIND THE CAMERAA few odd Saracen members.Blue sky great turn out.Whats going on up the road?First obstacle.We did pass through Evesham.Charlcote garden centre time for refrechments.David and Judy Jones ready to sign us in.We left them both taking in the sun.Unfortunately a touch of wheels brought Alan Townsend down near Coughton Court.Crash Helmets do come in handy.Fortunately no lasting damage to the head and after riding back to John Shelleys from Julies he was back to his normal self !!!! Good to have Eddie and Mavis join us to finish the day off.. Well done to Sean for a great day out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherpa Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Thank you, everyone who helped at the scene and for all the good wishes after I took a tumble yesterday. Apart from a sore shoulder I'm fine. My head took the brunt of the fall, so That saved me from something more serious. Thanks for a superb ride and here's to the next one. Alan.

Sean Barker Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Another great Saracen Audax. We had the weather and all sixty six starters returned to the café safely. What more could you ask for?All I heard all day from our riders was positive and complimentary. This was in no small part due to all the effort put in by the team, so to that end can I just take this opportunity to thank the following, Our magnificent duo of Hilary and Edwina who really set the scene and make everyone feel welcome.Dave and Judy who took care of the control at Charlecote.Julie and her staff who as always took wonderful care of us all.The staff at Charlcote.Chris Pardoe and Kevin Sargent our on the road photographers.And especially to all the riders who made the event so special. Here are some additional photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moira Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Yes a great day and good pictures thanks to those who did all the organisation but can't believe no one has mentioned Kevin Rogers who was rearing to go after recovering from his bad back who forgot his shoes and helmet but he did get a ride in but on his own what a shame he missed a good day.And a special thanks to Mr Speedy Shelley and Mr Pictures Pardoe for looking after Bev and I and sitting on the front for the majority of the way Xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
