Sarashell Posted September 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 It was an excellent day today, a very good 100k route, lovely lanes, and the weather was on our side. There were 9 of us Saracens, and a few friends as well. Graham Knowles's daughter was out with us, she is a chip of the old block, very strong rider. 2 of Kevin's friends were also out, the one came over from Australia to ride with us, the other one,( his brother ) is a brummy. We also bumped into Susan, Mavis and Eddie's daughter, she was also going very well. Got to think now who is on the Saracen list. Moira B. Bev A Kevin R. Mick H. Chris Pardoe Chris Poole John Poole John S. Alan T. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisP Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 A few pictures from today's Tommy Godwin Challenge. As John said good route, good weather, plenty of cake at Great Alne stop and the finish. Good company and we managed to stay together all the way around. This is how you do it. No this is how you do it. Over the shoulder photography. Small problem holding camera riding bike and watching where one's going. A good club turnout. Moira doing the highland jig. Moira isn't the only one not liking hills Chris Poole trying not to look up. Girl power. Three wise men. . Thanks to all for a great day out.

ChrisP Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 After a great day out on the bike It was decided as usual when Alan comes up to join us, to have a Chinese evening at Ann & John's. Having consumed too much food and the odd glass of wine we settled down to watch some 1960's films of us racing taken by Alan's dad when we road together as juniors. The cine 8 projector was set up cleared of cobwebs, spiders given a spray with WD40 film loaded and ready for action. First race on the Baginton curcuit climbing Stoneleigh hill then the sprint finish past the airfield. Followed by a race starting from Halesowen track and over a number of laps round the Romsley curcuit.. Difficult at first to recognise these fresh faced young men, full head of hair either blond or brown. Feeling inspired by these young and fit individuals we move on to the next reel. Alan's in charge film loaded Ann dims the lights. Switch is thrown motor whirls into life but 1960's bulb has no spark left. John completes house search thinking he must have an old bulb in a box somewhere but to no avail. Would be grateful if anyone can come up with a suitable bulb for a 1960's cine 8 projector. The only entertainment left was watching two grown men after a few glasses of wine trying to get the screen back into it's case. Similar to repairing the blowout this morning THIS is how you do it !!!! Hopefully we will be able to continue our trip down memory lane when Alan comes next time for the November dinner. Story to be continued if bulb can be found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
