Evesham. 9:30 Tardebigge 🚴🏽🚴‍♀️

Five of us started out from Tardebigge this morning, and we had a nice steady ride to Dormston, about thirty miles. At the village hall there were more Saracen riders, and a few ex-Saracens, it was good to see John and Cheryl Cornish, And also Mandy And Dave, all on bikes. There was a lot of eating, drinking, and catching up with old friends. Very pleasant day. Now, must try and remember who was there :- Leigh F. Diane Bick Roger B. Moira B. Alan P. Chris P. Barry L. Tessa O. Pat Haddon Tony S. Lottie ? Chris Philpot John S. I think that’s the lot, let me know if I have missed you out. 🚲

It’s the annual tea and cake 🍰 charity pop up cafe at Dormston this week, so don’t forget to bring your dosh. 9:30 Tardebigge. 🚴🏽🍰🚴‍♀️

Yes, Moira should be much fitter after today’s ride. It’s lovely countryside over there, around Clows Top. We went over one or two little hills on the way, but we also went down a few. Seven of us started from Tardebigge, Moira, Bev, Kev, Kevin Y., Roger, Chris K. And me. When we got to the visitor’s centre at Wyre Forest, there were two more Saracen riders already there, Tess and Chris P. It was a nice tea party that we had outside in the sunshine, putting the world to rights. So then we had to ride home. There were one or two aching legs, nice ride, and the sun was shining. 🚲

Yes, I think you should both have a point. Well done, and I hope to see you both on Tuesday. 👍

Eight of us started from Tardebigge, three of whom went their own way, so let me see, five left, then just coming into Chipping Campdon, two more joined us, (are you keeping up), that made seven. We seemed to spend quite a long time at the cafe, I must stop running cafes down, so enough said. But we where sitting in the sun shine, very nice. And then we rode home with the wind, more or less. In our gang today :- Moira B. Bev A. Kevin R. Mick H. John S. Alan P. Chris P. 🚲

Happy birthday Don, have a lovely day, Ann and John. 🍷🎂

Chipping Campden, get your low gears on. 9:30 Tardebigge 🚴🏽🚴‍♀️

Nice weather today, just right for Cycling. Eight Saracens out, and one guest. Steady ride to Upton, I’m not going to mention the ford. The service at that cafe was not too good, but never mind, we all get fed and watered in the end. Steady ride back, and we didn’t see any rain, what more could you want? And today’s riders :- Moira B. Phil C. Leigh F. Chris K. Roger B. Alan P. Ken H. John S. and Doug P. 🚲

How about Upton upon Severn ! 9:30 Tardebigge 🚴‍♀️🚴🏽

Well done Terry, if it keeps you out on the road, and, as you say, with a smile on your face, then it can’t be bad. I have heard wishers in the club, that there could be a few more ebikes amongst our members. So don’t feel guilty about it. Enjoy it. We’ll see you in Bewdley on it some time. 😁

Happy birthday Mick, sorry we’re late. Ann and John. 🎂

Well, there were eight of us out this morning. ( One was a guest, Dougie Pinkerton ). We decided to keep close-ish to home, because of the threat of rain, so we ended up at Worcester Country Park. It turned out to be a lot warmer than we thought and no rain, an’t that just our luck ! Any way on the way home it did rain, but not too bad. And this week’s riders :- Bev A. Kevin R. Chris T. Ken H. Leigh F. Roger B. John S. and Dougie P. 🚲

With the weather the way it has been, I suggest that we make our minds up where to go in the morning. Hopefully we will know what it is going to do. 9:30 Tardebigge. 🤞🚴‍♀️🚴🏽

Happy birthday Kevin, and many happy returns. Ann and John. 🍰

Happy birthday Chris, and many happy returns. Ann and John. 🎂

Seven of us got to coffee 1, at Pershore, the tea, tea cakes and the mickey taking were all very good. I must say that, all but for a few spots, it didn’t rain on us, however, it must have rained in Bromsgrove and the surrounding area because the roads where awash, I got home soaked again, but only from spray off the wheels. And today in our gang:- Mick H. Chris T. Bev A. Moira B. Leigh F. Kevin Y. John S. 🚲

Pershore, fingers crossed for the weather. 9:30 Tardebigge. 🚴🏽🚴‍♀️

Well, I got it wrong with the weather, warm but drizzley to start, not too bad. Five of us started out, but at Astwood Bank, Bev and Moira bailed out, and went in a different direction. So Roger, Mick and me, went on to Balsal Common, nice cafe, nice food, nice prices. Then we came out to a bit of rain, nothing to worry about. We got home like drowned rats. Oh well c’est la vie. 🚲

Lavender Hall Fishery, at Balsal Common. Weather will be fine. 9:30 Tardebigge. 🚴‍♀️🚴🏽

Happy birthday Mike, many happy returns. Ann and John. 🎂🍺

Well three of us made it, Chris T., Mick H. et moi. It was a little damp at times, but not enough to spoil the ride. Cafe was ok, the toast was warm bread, but I don’t mind that. All in all, not a bad day out. 🚲
