  2. Sorry late posting busy day . Weather not looking great so let’s say Broad Acres then if we get out we can as long or as short as we want . 10 am TB if not raining 🤞🏻🚴‍♀️🌹🚴
  3. Sounds like a good ride . Got to Budapest okay found a bar The Pointer Bar so obviously wenrnin then to a tapas bar lovely food and we didn’t get wet !!!
  4. John how can you do that my OCD wouldn’t let me 🤣 Glad you made it home safe Julie as you were wishing you’d left your car at Brant Green but you’ve earned an extra large glass of wine 🍷 I could believe how dirty my leggings and top were think I found the muddiest place to fall or did John push me 😝 Only joking John xxx Like Julie off out tonight for a larger or 3 🤪
  5. I hope I’ve contacted all the regular’s the weather looks bad for Sunday so we’re changing the club run to Saturday . We’re heading out to the grotty railway 🚃 carriage at Milcote . John has checked 🤞🏻and apparently it has been done up let’s hope so. We will see tomorrow let’s hope John has broad shoulders as he’s in for stick if it’s still grotty 🤣 9.30 am TB Saturday 🚴‍♀️🌹🚴
  6. Yes I was a day out it’s the 16 th thanks John . Five of us met at Sanders Park John, Tim , Leigh , Bev and me . Off we set up Timberhonger Lane with Leigh racing up all the uphills then dropping back . A lovely day no wind which makes a nice change. We got the railway station at 1052 am rather early but nice to have a shorter ride out for a change I did manage to round it up to 20 miles doing a couple of laps around the car. The others didn’t join me just headed straight into the cafe. We were discussing what a lovely leisurely ride out when our intrepid Chairman arrived on his own as Tess was working and Roger is on his holidays. It was nice to see a steam train going past us a couple of times John was like a big kid 🤣 Leigh set off for home before us so it back to 5 of us with Chris P instead of Leigh . As we approached Stourport we did a right instead of a left going through Stourport mainly to miss the main road out ( Bev I’m blaming you for that ) Quote of the day from Chris P yes I know another route . Me it’s not too hilly is it . Chris just one hill !! I didn’t hear John cursing as we turned right ( I blame John for not voicing his concerns ) Off we went following faithfully behind Chris not knowing what was coming up . UP being the operative word . Bev and I were blissfully unaware of what was ahead but Bev got suspicious as John was mumbling on. Needless to say there were a lot of uphills that many that we lost count . The moral to the story never believe Chris when he says one hill. We went past Larford Fishery , Shrewely and Holt Feelt. Luckily the sun 🌞 was out and it was a lovely day but we still had do give Chris some stick just for the banter. An enjoyable ride home nice to go a different way so thanks Chris 🙏 As you can see Chris was feeling up ready for the ride home . I can’t think what I can blame Tim for 🤣 A few photos below. Sorry a couple of mistakes missed park off car park and Chris was fuelling up not feeling up 🤣 Dint know where the edit button has disappeared too x
  7. As Mr Philpott is going to play on his motor bike with Mr Rogers tomorrow I thought we’d go to Bewdley as I know Alan doesn’t like going that way . We will go to the cafe in the Seven Valley Railway Station it’s apparently been done up since we were last there. This week only we will meet in the car park at Sanders Park 9.30 am 🚴‍♀️🌹🚴
  8. We’ll only Gordon , Bev and myself started from TB we gave Leigh 5 minutes but he was a no show. But found him with the Philpott’s near to Priest Bridge that doubled our numbers to six. We turned left at the end of North Piddle Lane to find the road blocked by some very nice but frisky brown and black cows which a farmer was trying to move unsuccessfully down the road as the cows kept going into a field. Deciding it would take some time we did an about turn and went down a Lane most of us apart from Alan hadn’t been down (Seaford) . Just as well you weren’t out John as at the end there was a ford so we had to navigate a narrow path and bridge then another narrow path . As we all know you have form for falling off on paths after a ford 🤣🤣 We also went down another Lane near to Crome again none of us apart from Alan had been down a really nice Lane lovely houses and a Church too. It was very busy on arriving at Crome but we got served quickly and sat outside. Gordon now know as ‘Trevor ‘as that’s what Leigh thought his name was !!! We wondered who Leigh was talking about . Anyway Gordon had a nice piece of cake as did Leigh and after the teacake incident last week where Leigh had Gordon’s teacake Gordon took Leigh’s cake as it was so tasty and he wanted more but being nice he did give it back . Leigh must have felt guilty for last week and gave him half of the cake don’t feel sorry for Leigh as he did have a pack of sandwiches too . Off we set for home a nice tailwind was welcomed after the windy ride out . Leigh stopped to do something so we waited for him and he came sailing past us never to be seen again. Yes Leigh you’re getting some stick this week 😝 Julie sorry to say I let you down no lipstick 💄 on me as I discovered I only have lip salve but Gordon was sporting a nice shade of coral (don’t tell his wife ). A few pictures below.
  9. Don’t worry Leigh I haven’t got a cold either 🤞🏻I thought I was going to be Billy no Mates see you in the morning.
  10. Morning I thought we’d go to Crome Park in the morning doing a decent loop to get there . We will be going out via Priest Bridge and then past the Philpott’s house. 9.30 am TB 🚴‍♀️🌹🚴
  11. Ha ha twinkle toes only likes picture number 3 Chris you need to quality control before posting like I did last week leaving John off 🤣🤣🤣 Make up and riding arrived at TB Julie had a full face on Gordon particularly liked the shade of lipstick 💄 I very rarely wear make up but watch out next week for my lipstick !! Leight I hope you’ve put the bi carbonate of soda on those oil stains as Julie will be doing a quality control next week obviously with her coloured in eyebrows , mascara and lipstick 😝 A lovely ride and the sun was out even better xx
  12. The weather might be a bit hit and miss tomorrow but let’s hope for the best thought we’d stay local ish so the venue is Hillers ( not sure if it’s one or 2 L’s) We will be going out via Feckenham and that little steep hill Barry if the weather is good we will go via Bidford if not we can cut short along the Ridgeway. 9.30 am TB 🚴‍♀️🌹🚴
  13. I think Kevin Young took us there once . But where is Mr Shelley on your phots 😜🤣🤣🤣 Looks a nice place but the Priest Bridge lot won’t go that way !!!
  14. Ha ha John how did that happen when you make such a beautiful subject 💋
  15. Starting from TB Julie, John , Gordon , Tim , Leigh and myself . It was a cold start only Leigh and I were stupid enough to put shorts on but luckily it did warm up eventually . We picked Tony S , Barry and Alan en route . No Christine today Alan says it was too cold for her. But Julie and I reckoned she just wanted a peaceful morning without him 🤣🤣 Tony and Tim carried on to Bishampton and we turned left for Fladbury . Tim wanting to get home to help finishing there packing as they’re heading off for the sun for two weeks in Kos . Luckily them enjoy. Quick service at the cafe tea and teacakes . Some having problems getting the lids off there tea pots to top up . Chris Poole arrived just as we’d ordered . Nice to see you go and about Chris. Alan managed to pour his own tea and pay a job Chris normally does !! A windy ride home think we were all feeling it towards the end I know John was as he went the short way home from TB that or he knew Anne had his lunch waiting for him 😋 A few photos below.
  16. Clive’s of Cropthorne it is in the morning we haven’t been there for a while. Going out via Priest Bridge . 9.30 am TB 🚴‍♀️🌹🚴
  17. It was Hanbury Hall probably auto correction x Well done to Julie Cycling all the way home she clocked up the most miles . A shame you and Ivor didn’t discuss which way you were both going which meant you were both on your own 🙁But maybe a good thing Julie as Ivor probably turned that motor up to full power 🤣🤣🤣
  18. As The Tommy Goodwin Challenge unfortunately has been cancelled on Sunday more of us will be out . I thought I’d keep it simple and go to Springridge Cafe , Crowle obviously doing a decent loop to get there . We will be going out past Philpott Towers . 9.30 am TB 🚴‍♀️🌹🚴
  19. Well where do I start so much was going on . Firstly the cafe was called The Potted Pantry not the The Potting Shed that’s in a garden centre in Bromsgrove but luckily I think everyone knew where I meant. Starting from TB were John , Bev , Tim , Leigh , Gordon , Julie , Chris T ( long while since Chris has been out with us ) and myself. Off we set to Feckenham up the little hill towards the ridgeway where sitting at the top were the Philpott’s , Barry , Steve and Jenny . They were all breathing normally unlike the rest of us . Quite a group 13 of us in total the most we’ve had out in ages . After Bidford we turned right towards Blackminster Tim and I were on the front doing a steady pace up the hill when there was a flash of white as Jenny came past us on her electric bike on full power. Jenny took some catching but we managed mainly as she slowed down . On arrival at The Potted Pantry Michele was already there with a beacon member having arranged to meet Chris there . We all ordered and then rearranged most of the outside tables to accommodate us all when in came a group of 7/8 from the Beacon arriving at great speed including Kev Young and Andy Wrightson . We sat there smug thinking ha ha we got here first and got our orders in. I think it’s fair to say from then on in it was very chaotic at the cafe drinks arriving for all including the Beacon before any food . Burnt teacakes having to be thrown away and just general confusion. Extra tea and coffee coming out which we gratefully had. In all the confusion Julie’s light snack of toast scrambled eggs and mushrooms ( hangover recovery food apparently) didn’t come . We’d all finished so Christine kindly went to the kitchen and managed to sort it out and soon appeared as the new waitress with said light snack not 🤣 She scoffed it down quite quickly and off we left leaving the Beacon still there. I must say the Young lad who was waiting on was very patient and good to us . Alan was navigating and took us back a nice way through Pedworth . Those around Julie on any up hills were concerned that they might see her scrambled eggs again luckily this didn’t happen . The farmers had been out and lots of hedges had been cut . Steve got a puncture on the main road just before Bidford luckily as you’ll see from the photos Jenny and Bev were on hand to help him out . Many ladies hands may light work 🤣 A few photos below .
  20. Julie don’t be a light weight I’ve just got in after gatecrashing a 60 th party in the back room of the local pub . So see you in the morning bright eyed and bushy tailed .
  21. The weather is looking good for Sunday so thought we’d head out to The Potting Shed at Blackminster . Going out via Feckenham up the little steep hill to the Ridgeway . 9.30 am TB 🚴‍♀️🌹🚴 Opps don’t know what happened there and I can’t seem to edit or delete one !!! So let’s go with this one ignore the other duplicate post please.

  23. Sounds like you had an eventful ride and sunshine too . We’ve spent the day in Lyme Regis a walk along the river before the rain came down . It’s now pouring down here .
  24. Luckily the “ wimps “ made it out today . 😜 Starting from TB John , Gordon , Micky D , Tim , Leigh and myself. John and Tim were on the front setting a good pace think they’d both had 3 weetabix’s for breakfast . As Barry has said in his earlier post we did pick him up in Bouts Lane . Apparently he can now switch on the cooker and hob weather he can actually cook anything is another matter . Poor Lesley just hope your daughter is visiting you regularly 😂 We went out past the airfield back to Flyford Favell Dormeston then the cafe . Tim was feeling particularly frisky as he put his foot down from the top of the hill at Bradley Green . I just managed to hang on as did Mick and John . We arrived at the cafe panting and very sweaty 🥵 John even had to get his hanky out to wipe his face . As you can see from the photos below Gordon relaxing 😎 in the sun. Already at the cafe were the Philpott’s , Dave M who had cycled there , Mandy who drove there and Pete Cooper on his electric bike .Also Mick McCloure who is on a visit for a couple of weeks . Lovely to see Mr McCloure. John and I both had a lovely BLT 😋 While we were eating Richard Kent and Shaun arrived then Chris Poole so we had a good gang there . Lots of different chatter going on. As you will see from the photos Alan had overdressed so was cooling down at the cafe trying to look ‘ sexy ‘ I did say trying 🤣🤣 But he did venture to a table where there two lone female cyclist and tried his charm offence on them luckily he had removed the strawberry jam which he spilt in a very comprising position . I’ll leave that one to your imagination !!! There was a lot of flicking of his braces but the ladies remained stoney faced . Christine then told us that Alan’s foreplay was to talk about the cost of fuel . I snook over to get a picture of the master in action think the ladies were quite relieved as Alan then left them to speak to some other poor unsuspecting person 😘🥰 ( love you Alan really ) People left in drips and drabs . It was a lovely ride just the right temperature and a very sociable cafe stop too. A few photos below :
  25. I thought as most of us got wet on Thursday morning and missed out going to Broadacres that we’d go to Broadacres in the morning. Obviously doing an extra long route to get there . Will be going out via Feckenham. 9.30 am TB 🚴‍♀️🌹🚴
