ChrisP Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 The weather has been great for riding the past few weeks. It's nice to ride on quiet roads although the past week has seen an increase in traffic. I'm getting used to riding solo but conversation with myself can be much the same i've sorted the virus situation and put the world to right many times. Like Boris I've got it Done. Took an hour walk around my estate today to see what the peasants were up to not many about. So took a few pictures for you to identify. A) Which friends meet at this house? B) Where is this what is the building called? Looking the other way. C) What's this place called? D) What's on the top of this school? E) This walkway has a name? F) Where did we go on Friday night along here? One for the older members. G) This is the entrance to? H) This was where I joined my first club and raced on the grass track. WHERE are we? I) Looking behind me I get a great smell of what? A few hidden lanes on the way back. J) What is this park usually know as? K) What club sail on this pool? As always it an uphill climb back to home. Hope you enjoyed the tour. Keep Safe Keep riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancashire Lad Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 Chris. Good attempt to test peoples local knowledge but how can you expect a Lancashire lad to answer those questions, I 'm still finding new roads and footpaths within a radius of 10 miles around Inkberrow and getting lost. Great pictures as you always take and i enjoyed viewing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisP Posted May 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Hi Ivor you'd better get your battery well charged. I saw Barry this morning near Stock Green chasing after some young lady. Or she'd just past him going very fast. He didn't even have time to give me a wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancashire Lad Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Sorry Chris, I honestly never saw you. I've seen several club members and Thursday riders over the past 8 weeks, even stopping for a chat at times observing social distance. At my age I have difficulty catching anybody!! even people on sit up and beg electrics, perhaps my head was down on my way home on my last legs, but I am pleased and fortunately well enough to be getting out 3 days a week, between 100/120 miles on very quiet Worcestershire roads, long may it last. I will watch out for you in future!! keep circulating the photo's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
