Hannah Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 I know it's early chaps and chapettes, but the A's are thinking of doing another 'slower than usual' kind of ride this week, as Owen, Mick and Lee are all off to sunny Spain on Monday and will obviously be getting in plenty of fast miles while they are there (lucky for some hey?) So, we (Speedy, Hazlewood Jr and myself) were thinking it would be nice if we met up at the same cafe as the B's, but we'll make our own way there to get in some extra miles. Have the B's got any thoughts on a destination for Sunday? It would be good to know so that we can plot a course Also, if anyone fancies joining us, as I say, the pace won't be as quick as usual - still fast of course, but not the usual uber fast pace! No one will be left behind and all are welcome Martin H from Speeds plans on joining the A's on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauralane Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 It would be good to meet at the same place. I would go with the A's and head back with the B's if we did do that. I hope I'm out Sunday. I'm in a little bit of a dilemma as I've been invited out but it's quite far away. It would mean a lot of driving. I think I'll keep an eye on the weather mainly. If it's really nice I'll deffo be out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Barker Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Great idea Hannah What about Evesham? We haven't been there for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah Posted March 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Weather is (at this current moment in time) looking fairly good for Sunday Laura (according to the MET office!) 9 degrees Celsius from 7am onwards - but it is going to be overcast in the morning and strong winds blowing from the west all ruddy day! Evesham sounds good Sean, you name the cafe and we'll start devising a route there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Barker Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Raphael's by the river. That will give me the chance to firm up the details with the owner as that will be one of the stops on the upcoming Saracen Audax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah Posted March 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Sounds great Sean - we'll plot a route on Garmin - are you planning an 11:30ish arrival? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Barker Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Yep Hannah I would say around 11:30 Might be a little wet in the morning but should dry up on the return leg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Quick update on the A's.... Mick is signed up for a race in Wales tomorrow. 50 Shades is having an easy ride with St Johns ahead of his trip to Majorca. Speedy Kev is concerned about losing an hour's sleep and then riding in the rain, and O's also reluctant to get soggy in case it has a negative impact while he's out in Majorca. All in all, A run is not looking like a go-er... so assume, for now, that those mentioned and myself will not be at the Forest. If between now and the morn the weather forecast improves I'll pop up with another update on here, but I think it's unlikely we will be riding. Laura has just got in touch with me and mentioned she'll be riding with the B's, providing you're still up for it Sean? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Barker Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Yep I'll be there for the B's Might be a little wet on the run down but should have cleared up for the return leg. As Hannah mentioned don't forget the clocks have gone forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauralane Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I'm going to head back home. If you get this I'm only 4 minutes away. I'll come and meet you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Barker Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Well like a complete idiot I forgot it was 9:15 and got there for 9:30 (even more stupid because I told Kay it was 9:15 this morning ) Anyway fortunately I caught Laura and we battled through a strong headwind to Evesham where we were joined by Dave. We had the wind pushing us home for the most part but were battered by some heavy showers on the way. Today's hardy souls Sean Barker Laura Lane Dave Mitchell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauralane Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I didn't notice the wind pushing us back...! Guys....Sean lied to me all morning. "Just one more hill..." "The rain will stop on the way back..." "The wind will push us home..." "It's downhill from here..." Lies. The wind was horrible, but the company was ace. Glad I made the effort! Lots of cyclists at the cafe as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
