It’s going to be cold 🥶 in the morning, so I suggest that we meet at 10:00 (just a one off) to give the roads a chance. So let’s go a shortish loop round to Broad Acres. Winter draws on, we don’t want to freeze our bottom brackets off.

So 10 o, clock, at Tardebigge.  🚴‍♀️🤞🚴🏽

Well it was cold, so we kept to the main roads, we didn’t break any records today, but at least we got a ride in. The cafe was very welcome after being in the cold, my glasses 👓 steamed up as soon as we entered. Always good food in there, so four of us made the most of it.

Out today were :-

Moira B.

Chris K.

Tim B.

Set out to show the club colours at Steve Lockwood's Life Celebration at Great Whitley Village Hall today.

Decided as it was a 1:30 start to take the bike in the car, park at the hall and go for a couple of hours ride.

So the following pictures taken on a short tour of Worcestershire & Hertfordshire border.

What a great day rather cold but sunny little wind and very quiet roads although a little up & down.

Started going across to the top of Ankerdine with a splendid view of The Malvern.

Not many people at the pub at the bottom of the hill.

Climb over the Bromyard Downs and descend to the village.

No bikes at the cafe today.

Take the road out to Tenbury Wells.

Some great views across to Clee with snow on the top.

Start to head back to Great Whitley but at Newnham Bridge turned left to climb up to Clows Top

and leave myself with the drop back down to Abberley and round to the Start at Whitley.

Dropping down from Clows Top with views ahead to the Malvern.

You can see the clock tower on the top of Abberley that I am heading for.

Arriving back to find the car park full.

Was joined in the hall by fellow Saracen's Eddie & Mavis, Chris K, Mike H and Phil C.

Over a hundred turned out to celebrate the life of a well respected man.

Who's life was so suddenly cut short at a young age.

I wish to send my sympathy to all his family, friends and fellow cyclists at this sad time.

Chris Pardoe.
