Five of us started out from Tardebigge this morning, and we had a nice steady ride to Dormston, about thirty miles. At the village hall there were more Saracen riders, and a few ex-Saracens, it was good to see John and Cheryl Cornish, And also Mandy And Dave, all on bikes. There was a lot of eating, drinking, and catching up with old friends. Very pleasant day.

Now, must try and remember who was there :-

A good collection of Saracen riders.

Plenty of tea, cakes and chat.

 

Steve say's a few word as he announces he's retirement from chairman of the charity.

 

Saracen group photo.

One with Steve even though he's a member of the Solihull but a good supporter of our club dinners for years.

Now for a steady group ride home.

A quick look over the shoulder.

Camera dropped on handle bars.

Moira in full flight but counting the hills all the way back.

Moira keeps telling us she can't climb hills but this picture shows her shooting of up one

of the climbs with the polka dot jersey holder struggling to stay with her.

Polka Dot holder not happy with some of the tactics used on the lower slopes.

  

John seems to have lost his friends.

Then finds a few wheels to follow.

Just a proper social club gathering.

Good to be out with and see old friends again, my longest ride for over twelve months and at least Moira knows she's not always at the back on the hills! Thanks to Steve & team for another super cream tea and apologies for being improperly dressed on parade - either the old club jersey has shrunk or I've gained some padding.
