Sean Barker Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Midlander 100 Sunday 14th July 2013 There was talk of a few of us riding around this Audax together. It starts from the Earlswood Lakes Craft Centre AKA Manor Farm Tea Rooms. The one control point is at Revills Farm Shop, Bourne Road, Defford, with an info control on the way out and on the way back. Here is a map of the course http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/midlander-100 I have entered, anyone else fancy it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However she is riding her second '10' on the Saturday before and it is going to be a beautiful still, sunny afternoon. Watch this space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be getting a lift to the start and if I can talk Paula into it I'm going to get her to carry me to the starting line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveM Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Great pics Paula... saves me listing everyone who turned out today. As Alan says, cracking day and good to see those jerseys being paraded in front of so many other clubs. Clocked 90 miles myself. Vote of thanks to Darren and the staff at Revills Farm Shop who coped admirably with the hoards. The Reverend Ivor leads the group in a prayer before the start.

Sean Barker Posted July 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Absolutely fantastic day out, I have never enjoyed the company on an audax so much. Yesterday caught up on me on the return from the café stop so was very grateful to Dave and Chris for nursing me home. Sitting at the back of the group watching the large group resplendent in Saracen colours was truly a sight to behold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanW Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 But the important question must be, did we get Ken back in time?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Jones Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 But the important question must be, did we get Ken back in time?? Yes Alan, he was duly delivered on time, so will have earned brownie points. Good job I actually decided to drive over, it allowed Ken to finish the ride in our company rather than facing a ride on his own after turning off somewhere. It was a bit tight with 2 bikes in the car but we made it on time. A good day with good company and great weather PS big respect to you for the massive turn that you pulled from Evesham to Alcester.

AlanW Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 PS big respect to you for the massive turn that you pulled from Evesham to Alcester. If it got Ken back in time, then it was worth that little (ok a lot of) extra effort. :lol: I also found out this afternoon what the problem was with my gears that kept jumping from time to time yesterday, the new Jagwire in line cable adjusters kept loosing their tension for what ever reason, thus making the gear cable slack for the rear mech. But more annoyingly I cannot see or understand why they are doing it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
