ChrisP Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Start 10ish. Meeting point Lydiate Ash Road 200 metres south of M5 island on A38 2 miles north of the Sunday Forest meeting point. Bring your own Breakfast sausage egg and bacon etc. Don't come in new club kit might get fire damage. Frying pans useful handle extensions optional. A short ride will be taken to the BBQ site opposite the Holy Bush pub on the Hagley Road a mile after the Belbroughton crossing. Smoke signals will denote the location. After the banquet we will have a steady ride to the Dodford Inn to meet old friends for a quiet pint or two. Lights may be needed for the return trip if it gets dark early, trust no ones frightened of the dark. This run will be compulsory what ever the weather for both A & B groups.

Mick Hazlewood Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 As Chris says, This event is compulsory for Saracen members both old and new. Sick notes will not be accepted unless they are handed in at least a week before, TOUGH you all have to come now. If Ken makes it ' which I hope he doe's ' don't forget it was his Birthday on Thursday and we have to give him the bumps, All 75 of them. Only joking Ken !, I do hope you manage to pop down to the Dodford to see us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Barker Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Kay if you look at Chris's opening post there is a link on the first line that gives you a google maps fix on the meeting place I'll be passing the meeting place in Rednal a little after 9:30 if you want to meet up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Hazlewood Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Not really sure where the places are! What time are you at the Dodford Inn (I could look up a post code and plumb it in the garmin) If you are going straight to the Dodford you have tobe there at opening time 12o'clock it's compulsary And also important if you require a seat. It's going tooooooo be BUSY!!!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MandyM Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Really enjoyed our afternoon at the Dodford with The Saracen and all the other local cyclists. Well done Saracen for helping out the poor and needy by setting up a 'soup kitchen' in the local woods. Most of them looked really grateful!! :roflxmas: Thank you very much for my personalised fridge magnet that was a lovely suprise. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. :Christmas Smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannah Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 You boys.... I didn't stop laughing all day. Whether it was in the woods, in the pub or on the bike there was a big ol' grin on my face. It is an honour and a privilege to belong to such an incredible club. I thoroughly enjoyed the day chaps and for that I can't thank you enough. :thumbsupxmas: A big congrats to Owen for suggesting that we youngsters dress up and honour the old tradition. I am a very lucky woman to be with someone so creative and imaginative. Merry Christmas all and looking forward to a fab 2015!!! :DXmas: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
