Leigh Posted September 12, 2021 Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 Enjoyable ride and great venue particularly as the sun was shining . My shortcut home unfortunately included Ullenhall Hill ,Beoley Hill and the lumpy road from Enville to Tardebigge and it meant I was in time to hang out a long line of washing on my return and start washing up lucky me .

Moira Posted September 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 An excellent turn out this morning starting from TB John , Mick , Gordon , Leigh , Tim , Julie and me . Barry joined us near to Feckenham. A nice steady ride out. On arrival we managed to get one of the lock gates tables the sun was shinning and we had a lovely view . Talk turned to the route home when Julie piped up I know 2 ways home from Wootten Wawen I’ve been here loads then Barry jumped in wanted exact detail of the route home as for once he was going to have cycle further home than the rest of us. You have to remember that Julie and Barry have one thing in common “ They have no sense of direction “ . Thinking it could be entertaining we decided that Julie would navigate us back to Weather Oak Hill. Whilst these discussion were taking place Ivor arrived and joined us lovely to see him out on a Sunday. We set off Julie on the front full of confidence and bumped into Chris P and Rodger at the end of the driveway they decided not to stop and come back with us. As we came out of WW we didn’t do our normal turn but carried on with Julie directing promising us we’d go home via Studley and then on a cycle path . To our surprise and Julie’s we ended up back on the main road when she said quietly to me I don’t recognise this. We did a right turn to a place name she had heard off Barry carried straight on as he wanted a shorter route home ( but with his navigation skills who knows where he ended up ) Chris P came to the rescue and navigated us to Weather Oak Hill where we separated. Ivor went with Julie to make sure she found her way home !!! We never made it to Studley . Joking apart a great ride and nice to have 11 Sarcens members out riding together . There are pictures below one in particular showing John’s new cycling shoes which have been a discussion point for the last couple of weeks .

Julie Posted September 12, 2021 Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 Great pics Moira. Told my hubby I'd been put in charge. He reminded me that it took us 2 hours to get to a place an hour away so I should have known better. I doubt I'll be asked again. Thankfully! A great ride though and thanks to Chris P for taking over the route home. We might never have made it back if not 😩🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancashire Lad Posted September 12, 2021 Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 Another great day on the bike, but Moira, I think you backed the wrong horse returning from The View. Inspite of my questionable navigation skills I arrived home via Studley. I rest my case. Hope to see you on Tuesday for Defford, I even know how to get there now.
