Leigh Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Enjoyed the day . Coffee 1 almond croissant and Portugese tart . Oh ! plus good company . Bit cold must have been the speed we were going forcing the air through . View of the peloton even in the neutral stage was fleeting . Waved at Cav but he was preoccupied so didn't see me.

Sean Barker Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Great to be back out again after three weeks off the bike but boy did I feel it! Always a pleasure to spend some time with the group, a group that consisted today of Barry L, Leigh Frostbite, Chris K and Myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisKENT Posted September 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Well it was like this:- Barry, Ivor, Richard, wrong location but right time Tim met @ Tardebigge as arranged without the expected support of Leigh "Fidgetyfingers" & Sean "Can't get his butt off his (or other person(s) for that matter) mattresses Barker. We pressed on believing time to be of the essence into what felt like a nagging constant South Westerly. Ivor departed:-turning for Droitwich & home ? on a non-stopper @ Grafton Flyford. This left yours truly on the front with Barry ("half-bike" ? Lucas) to battle on to Pershore where Tim (much too fit for us) pressed on for Defford to meet-up with his other far-too-fit mates! Well we nearly lost Richard (small-tanks &/or leaky washers) KENT as he sought suitable watering holes around the Abbey! We then settled on a suitable location in the town on the square just down from the old Cafe' to view the cavalcade amongst several hundred other spectators! How pleased was I that I'd donned a gortex outer top, anticipating the rain that never actually reached us, as it was distinctly chilly & Autumnal for our 45 minutes wait. Well the swift passage of 100 elite pro's together with the preceeding & following entourage was in my opinion worth the wait (almost approaching the classical continental spectacle) With the aid of 21st Century communications & Sean under (the bed) cover BARKER's phone a meet @ Coffee 1 was arranged:- where warmth, good company, food ? drink & conversation restored the inner man! GOOD DAY, GREAT COMPANY AND SPECTACLE:- WISH YOU COULD'VE BEEN THERE !!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancashire Lad Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 What Chris failed to mention was the fact that the Saracens from Birmingham received a mention from the guy on the PI system when we rode into the square at Pershore. Another great day on the bike with the C's as usual, but Bl---y cold waiting for the race to pass. Never before has tea tasted so good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
