Richard Jerina Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 Fingers crossed, I'll be at TB for 10.00 in the morning. Please be gentle with me, I'm rather out of practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve T Posted March 19, 2022 Report Share Posted March 19, 2022 Thanks for the info Moira but I won't be out tomorrow, as my cousin's coming for lunch. Went out today and wish I was out tomorrow instead, to avoid riding through porridge! Have a good ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 A few old faces turned up at the start point today. Leigh was there when I arrived. He'd come to say hello as he was off to see his daughter and needed to get back home. Was nice to see him. Tim and Richard (ex new boy) arrived both with performance anxiety as they'd not been out for a few weeks. Moira of course. Mike also turned up with his wrist all strapped up and still very painful. It was really nice to see him. So nice that Moira ditched me and went on the front with Mike for a catch up. I managed to get a word with him too. Wrist problem sounds horrendous. Hopefully he will soon be on the mend and get out more regularly. Some old Beacon riders turned up too. I'd actually passed them on my way to TB. Im not showing off or anything 😆 but you got to blow your own trumpet sometime. Don't be too impressed they were pretty slow!. For those that know him Dr Dave was with them. So another old face to say hi to. The 5 of us set off and met Barry who had returned from his holiday which he had thoroughly enjoyed. Off to Clives we went. A nice steady ride with no performance issues at all. Mike and Tim decided to go a shorter ride and left us somewhere en route. Chris and Alan passed us in their car as we got to Clives so good timing for them. We sat outside as it was rammed inside but it was a bit cold so as soon as an inside table came free we all skeddadled inside. Much cosier. John and Ann arrived. So did the elusive Roger and Chris. We had a lovely chat about majorca holidays. I was told it was a lovely adventure especially the hair pin descents, heat exhaustion, long climbs, and steep hills. Not sure that's my idea of fun 🙈. Although the night time drinking and nice food sounded a bit more enticing. We set off back. Nice sunny day a bit of wind but nothing compared to what we've been experiencing lately. We took 3 scalps I think on the way back 7 in all for me so I was well chuffed. Richard left us before TB and Barry just before Stockland Green (I think) which left Roger, Moira Chris and me. Roger and Chris took off in front with our permission as we neared the Lickeys. I was very pleased to get back to my van to try and catch up with Roger and Chris but I couldn't see them in Northfield where I normally catch them. I was beginning to think they must be behind me and that me and Moi had managed to make some ground up. I was starting to feel a bit smug.... but then I saw them in the distance in Bournville already! ! Looking as fresh as a daisy 🌼. Maybe next time. Here's the pics. Can you spot the love birds??? I'll give you a clue it's not Barry and Moira 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moira Posted March 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Julie I would have gladly got into your Van if only you’d parked it in Blackwell when my legs went.☹️ A good ride nice to ride back with Chris and Roger . Lovely to see Mick too and Leigh very briefly . It’s my week to say my legs are hurting . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 I'm not surprised Moira. You were on the front 99% of the time. I'll take over next time 😆. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micky d Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Yes it was good to see you all today I’m just sorry I didn’t have the legs to go all the way. Anyway Tim & I headed back via Inkberrow then up into Feckenham where we stopped and had a quick coffee which was good because my! sorry, everything was aching. Ho well they do say if you don’t use it you loose it. On that note if I recover soon enough I’ll see you next week. TFN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisP Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 After the reprimand from our Sunday leader last week roger and I set of for Clives this morning. We set of at ten o'clock but the bright sun shine fooled us as with the wind against us the temperature never got above 10 degs. We both seemed to be on a good day and made the cafe by 11:45 the others were already tucking into tea cakes and jam plus tea. The return ride was slightly longer but flatter going via Pershore and Philpott Manor before heading for Tardebigge and home. We did spot Julie as she wizzed past us down the Bristol Road. A few pictures of feeding time. A nice steady ride back and time for a catch up chat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Jerina Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 Good to be back out with you all even if I was tail end Charlie most of the way back. I've spent the afternoon slumped in front of the TV. I enjoyed it non the less and hope to join you again next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
