Sean Barker Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Any suggestions for this Sunday's club run? I was thinking a trip to Evesham is about due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moira Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Yes Evesham sounds good not been there for a while provided it's not frosty especially after the B group falling on Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 I'm up for Evesham :-) Just hoping this runny nose and sore throat doesn't progress into anything nastier! :-/Sorry to hear there was an off on Thursday.... I assume all are ok? Quite a few riders had issues, particularly in Tardebigge, on Thursday. It seems the sunshine was deceptive, shady corners were still icy!

ChrisKENT Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Spoke with Leigh Fitchett late yesterday evening:-I was sorry to hear that he was still detained in Worcestershire Royal with 4 fractured ribs & broken collarbone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Good lord! I hope you're able to come home son Leigh, and I hope you make a full and speedy recovery. I had no idea the tumble had had such an impact, but as I say there's talk of lots of people having offs in Tardebigge on Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedy Kev Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Saracen RC "A" ride report 21/2/16Destination .... Mrs MuffinsLocation...........LedburyWeather............warm and windy Owen, Kev, Dave C, Alec W and LeeSpeedy and LDG arrive early, due to tailwind, LDG invites himself into the Harvester, then drinks a coffee bongo, LDG realises we could always meet in there for pre ride coffees....It's a head wind all the way down to the cafe, LDG has good legs and bullies his way through it, the coffee bongo doing its job, we ride over Hollybush at our own pace, then drop down into Ledbury.No poached eggs, Owen can't believe it...After refuelling courtesy of Mrs Muffins, and a photoshoot, we head of towards Colwall...LDG gets excited by the tail wind from Ledbury, we hang a left at the base of the British Camp and ride though Colwall, up the S bends, and regroup at the top.After plunging back down into Malvern we have a wind assisted drag race (more like Fartlek) to Leigh Sinton, then onto Bransford, and Worcester, LDG peels off, job done.O and Alec rolling into Droitwich, nearly home... apart from the Malverns, it wasn't actually that hilly...coffee bongo.

Sean Barker Posted February 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Thirteen riders made up the B run as we descended on Raphael's in Evesham.I missed the start so thought I'd intercept them at Chessgrove but I was soon to discover as Tony and Dave caught up with me that the main group had gone via Bidford.We all arrived at the cafe close together On the ride back Tony, Dave and myself dropped back to keep Mick company who was having trouble with his leg but somewhere we suddenly lost him. We waited and Dave circled back but he was nowhere to be seen. We assumed he's turned off.Give us a quick post Mick to solve the mystery The group consisted ofJohn ShelleyMoira BlackburnTim BruetonDave SextonKevin YoungHannah SmithKevin RodgersBev AbbotsMick McClureChris PardoeTony ShardlowDave MitchellSean Barker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
