Happy birthday Brian, and many happy returns. Ann and John. 🍷

Good morning, I suppose I had better go out if I know the way. We will be going via Elcocks Brook and along that narrow Lane (Croft’s Lane) and on to Astwood Lane, up and turn right to the traffic tights at Astwood Bank. I hope you’ve got that if you are going to meet us on the way. See you in the morning. 🚲 Ps. I am not the Boss just because I know the way. 😐

Happy birthday Pat, have a great day. Ann and John. 🎂

So sad to hear about Mike, our thoughts are with Val and the family. RIP Mike. Ann and John.

Well I don't think I will be out after reading all the above. Have a rest and hope the weather will be on our side on Tuesday. Keep cool. 🚲

Happy birthday Mike, and many happy returns of the day. Ann and John. 🍷

Yes, thank you Hilary and Chris, it was an excellent afternoon, seemed so good after such a long time. 🚲

Yes, I am going a bit better now, and it was a very nice ride. I must say, that hill on the way out of Chipping Campden that went down, Kev and Mick came past me and went down at about 50 miles an hour, I couldn't believe it. It was a bit warm today, but very nice. 🚲

That should be nice ride, a bit of a hill to go up, you can see for miles from up there. See you in the morning. 🚲

Happy birthday Pete, have a great day. Ann and John. 🎂🍺

Happy birthday Tony, have a good day. Hope to see you out on the bike soon. Ann and John. 🎂

Happy birthday Barry, and many happy returns. 🍷🎂 Ann and John.

Nice one Chris, good to see in familiar places. 👌

Yes Tim, Saturday 30th TB 9.30.

Big happy birthday Chris and Alan, have a great day, and many happy returns. Ann and John. 🎂 🎂

I'll be at Tardebigge 9.30, haven't been to Upton for quite a while. 🚲

Well, you women have your opinions, and I wouldn't like to start an argument. So I will see you in the morning, 9.30 🚲

Yes, it was a good ride today, every thing seemed to come together nicely. The weather was on our side for a start, and we had more riders out than we have had for quite a while. It was very nice of Jen and Steve to invite us all to their house and garden for refreshments, thank you both very much, I was very impressed, such a pleasant and quiet place to live. I was rather looking forward to seeing Moira"s photos, but c'est la vie, have to wait to see Chris's. 🚲

I'll see you at Tardebigge in the morning, a big thanks to Steve, and many happy returns. 🚲

Happy birthday Steve, many happy returns. 🎂 See you tomorrow at the party. 🤣

Happy birthday Julie, hope you have a great day 🚢 ⚓, and many happy returns of the day. Ann and John. xx

It was a very satisfying ride today, to be doing a few more miles than usual, and getting home in reasonably condition. How about the sock competition (that last photo) I think I won. 🤣 🚲

I'll be with you, hope the sun will be shining. 🚲

Well, we did get to The Espresso Barn, and it was very windy. From TB where, Moira, Leigh, Tim and Me, then on route we picked up Barry and Alan. We had to go up that f...ing hill again up to the Ridgeway, that split us up a bit, and so regrouped at the top. Going on past Raggley Hall, there must have been a Motor cycle rally, there where hundreds of Motorcycles every where. However, riding on through Wixford we seemed to have lost Leigh, who later rang me to say he was in Blackminster, (he can tell that story). Right then, we where almost at the Cafe and down came the rain, a quick dash got us there, the place was full of cyclists, so we had to sit outside but under cover. Chatting and filling our faces for a while, and the rain had stoped, we where ready to start for home. Nothing much to report on the way home, but I was about knackerd. 🚲 Ps Moira has some photos.
