Sarashell Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 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. 🤞🚴♀️🚴🏽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovi Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 I might take a raincheck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancashire Lad Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 I don't want to see Ivor doing another rain dance. But seriously, completion of my move is imminent, it's all hands to the pump! It may be quite a while before i'm back in the saddle. My upside chain collapsed and we are having to rent a property for 6 months which means putting the contents of a bucket into a pint pot and a lot of hard work with 2 moves instead of 1 . Enjoy your summer cycling. It's long holidays in warmer climates for me whilst in temporary accommodation and then i will training hard to keep up with "others" on electric wheels.

TonyS Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 Barry, I wish you well in your pump manning (hand or floor variety). As you know I have been through similar shenanigans over the past 18 months. Any advice I can give you will be based on still having a garage full of boxes, full of I don't know what, but you have my sympathy. I'll look forward to your eventual return to the even more senior ranks, in the hope that I will have recovered enough fitness to give you at least one kicking in the half wheeling stakes PS I didn't know a bike had an upside chain? Does it connect the top tube to the bottom bracket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leigh Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 Hope to see you at Tardebigge .Must remember to take wet wear. Chris is hoping to come as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancashire Lad Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 Thanks Tony, brilliant, enjoyed reading your post i cant bear the thought of it. Regarding the half wheeling stakes, i don't half wheel, as Dave Mortimer would say i just have a longer bike than others!! Likewise, looking forward to a return with you in the peloton to give me a kicking, it might make me sleep at night. Remember Tony it was you who first introduced me to the Thursday group, when i was making a comeback to cycling after a 40 year break from cycling and racing in the North West, that was 10 years ago. I was riding on my own when you came alongside and suggested that i should come to Tardebigge at 10am on a Thursday. I've enjoyed it ever since and met several good like minded people in the Midlands, all thanks to a brief encounter with you on the bike.

Sarashell Posted June 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 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. 🚲 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
