Six of us started out today from Tardebigge, four were in Ivor the Engine’s gang, so it was just Moira and me that had a steady ride to Croome . We got served straight away , there was no queue. Ten minutes later, in came Alan and Cris Philpot , the queue was quite long then. Chris P. came in next, and that was the lot. Had a nice half hour or so eating, drinking and chatting, and then all rode back home together. Good day considering what the weather forecast said, it was dry except for some puddles on the roads. 🚲

Let’s try and get to Croome Park this week, weather should be improving. 🤞🤞 9:30 Tardebigge. 🚴‍♀️🚴🏽

Yes, I have got to agree with the above, I will not be going out either. 🤷‍♂️🌧🚶‍♂️☔️

Let’s try and get to Croome Park, I’ve had a look at the weather forecast and the Met Office one is the best, so we’ll go with that one. 9:30 Tardebigge 🤞. 🚴‍♀️🚴🏽

Well, best of luck Leigh, and get well soon. 👍

Happy birthday Kev. Hope you had a good day. Ann and John. 🎂

Weather was good for a couple of hours, I was thinking that the forecast was wrong, and then, down it came. Quick dash to the cafe, where Chris P. was already drinking tea. Nice to get out of the rain, Moira, Barry, Alan Townsend, Roger And me , ordered food and drinks, and made ourselves at home. Chris K. came in next, in the car. We stopped there for quite a while hoping that the rain would stop, we’ll it didn’t stop but it did slowed down, so back home we went, it was only spotting by then ,so all in all, not too bad a day out. 🚲

Well, the the weather forecast for tomorrow is diabolical, witch is unbelievable as I write this in the sunshine . So I suggest that we do a loop round and end up at Broad Acres. The loop could long or short depending on what the weather is doing. It is a shame after the last few weeks, especially as our friend Alan has come up from Dorset to ride with us. 9:30. Tardebigge. 🚴‍♀️🌧🚴🏽☔️

Happy birthday Hannah, many happy returns. Ann and John. 🎂

Happy birthday Ted. And many happy returns. Ann and John. 🎂

I started from Tardebigge with Moira and Leigh, it was a bit cool at first, but soon warmed up as the day went on. Other Saracens were going other ways, I’m sure they will report where they have been. After going down a pot hole 🕳 and having a puncture, then fixing just after Tardebigge, I carried on with our “small “ gang, we had a pleasant ride to Wellesbourne where we met Chris P. We seemed to be there a long time , it was crowded, it took a while to get served, but was lovely in the sun ☀️. We had to ride home in the end, good day out, 70 miles. 🚲

Happy birthday Mike, and many happy returns. Ann And John. 🍺🍺🍺

Quite a few at Tardebigge this morning, but not all going to the same place. Well, our gang, Moira, Bev, Alan P. And me, rode to Bredon’s Hardwick via some of Thursday’s Tour of Britain TT route. The weather was very pleasant after a cool start. There is a large lake at the sight at Bredon’s Hardwick where people were enjoying themselves, it was just like the sea side. Tess and Chris came soon after we got there, it was like being on holiday. Well back to reality, we rode back round Bredon hill, nice scenery, and no hills. And back home, nice day out, with a nice crowd. 🚲

I don’t know what happened to everyone today, there were a lot of us at TB. nice to see Tim out again by the way. Anyway, when we got to The Cob House there were only Bev, Phil and me left. Then in the cafe was Mike McClure, that’s four, a little later on Tess and Chris came in, six. Cafe was fine, we seemed to be in there for quite a while eating and drinking etc. Mike went of home on his own, and us five rode back together. Weather was good, if a bit cooler than it has been, and the wind was quite strong. 🚲

No Barry, that’s the wrong way.

Go through Stourport, and back through Ombersley.

September already, where did it go !, anyway, let’s go to Cob House Fishery, at Wichenford. 9:30. Tardebigge. 🚴‍♀️🚴🏽
