Sean Barker Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 This Sunday’s club run will be to Cob House Fisheries. Dave Mitchell will be leading a steady run to Cob House Fisheries. I'll be at the Man in the Moon car park for a 9:15 departure. We will them make our way to Tardebigge ( approx. 9:40) for a second pick up point, then it's off to Droitwich to rendezvous with Dave, then on to Cob House Fisheries.

DaveM Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 OK. Sean will bring down guys from Tardibigge (approx 09.40) to Primsland (approx. 10.10), then we go via lanes to Copcut, Ladywood to Ombersley. Cross river at Holt fleet then back into lanes to Ockeridge, Wichenford and Cobb House. Return via Lower Broadheath then pick up Sustrans route 46 that goes down river to Worcs., across foot bridge then up between race course and river, through to Claines, Lower Town, Ladywood, Copcut and back to Primsland. I think 'A's will probably go via Cutnall Green and Doverdale. Weather permitting. PS. Anyone wanting a shorter ride is welcome to park and ride from my house. Depart 10.00.

Sean Barker Posted October 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 After today's exertions and a thorough soaking I'm expecting a little compassion tomorrow, so be gentle with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Hazlewood Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 So who's meeting at the Forrest at 9.30 for the Cob House. I suppose I could ride over with Sean and show him some compassion as I did on Tuesday last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re going to show me that sort of compassion again at least have the decency to carry a portable defibulator with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancashire Lad Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Arrived at Tardibigge 9.30 left at 9.45, nobody, (Billy nomates) as I didn't know how to get to the café, did a solo ride, passed Tony S riding in the opposite direction just past Chesgrove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyS Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Barry, my intention was to meet up at Tardebigge but I got there early (must have just missed you) and, rather than stand around in the damp, I carried on in the hope that the run would catch me up. Like you, I didn't know the cafe location exactly, and auto pilot took over. By the time I'd got half-way down Flying Horse Lane I thought I'd better turn round! When I saw you I assumed either the run was well in front of both of us, or more likely it had gone a different way. Anyway, it looked like rain was threatening over Worcester way so I decided to get home dry and clean my bike thoroughly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Barker Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 That’s unfortunate Barry. Owen and myself met at the Man in the Moon and rode up to Tardebigge but didn’t get there until 9:50. We must have only just missed you. :sad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveM Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Anyhow, I was glad to see at least two turn up for me to lead and we had a leisurely ride to the cafe. A little later than planned so the 'A's were already wined and dined arrived. Not wanting to hold them up, or get a pasting on the way back, we let them go. Not a drop of rain fell on the way back to Droitwich so we got away with a lovely sunny run. Things you don't normally see on a club run:- 1. A policeman parked up in a patrol car down a lane reading a cycling magazine. 2. Dragon Boats in all their splendour racing down the river. 3. Sean talking to a Reindeer at the cafe. Out today, the 'A's were Mike H, Chris P, Ken H and Chris Poole. The 'B's Sean, Owen H and myself. Phil C was intending to join the 'A's but had a wardrobe malfunction and had to abandon.

ChrisP Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Sean should take a rest I think he's suffering with an overdose of miles. Or take up swimming as he spends so much time in the rain. Great ride through the lanes on the way out avoiding the wind. In time at the stop for Mick to have an all day breakfast. Pity Ken went for the more expensive tea cake not following Micks example. Set sail for the return journey flew back via Worcester, Droitwich and up the lanes to Bournheath taking Mick home as usual. Got back home without a drop of rain in sight. Phil should have picked up some spare shoes and a crash helmet at Saturdays jumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or take up swimming as he spends so much time in the rain. You do have a point. Over 200 miles when you add yesterday’s ride and today's. I was certainly tired but a nice recovery ride was what I needed so a big thank you to Dave and Owen for nursing me around today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Hazlewood Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Thanks for escorting me home Chris and noticed you didn't stop to tell Ed why I was covered in so much cr-p from your back wheel!!, still just glad half my cycling kit was out of Owens wardrobe, good move that. Still can't understand why Chris has to take us down all these muddy lanes and then ride through all the big dirty puddles?. My fault I should have been on the front, but then I get told off for half wheeling and upping the pace, As if I Would!!. Hope Ken got back okay, lost him up a hill somewhere in Dodford. I did tell Chris but his answer was attack. Great ride as always and good company. Phil Carbutt was last reported to be seen riding around Wythall with no cycling shoes or crash helmet on, and his only 60. Must be all that sea air the last 2 odd years.
