DaveM Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Catch you at Tardebigge Ivor. Will post a local weather report at 07.30. If too dodgy at 09.00 I will take a delayed start and still steer a course for Hillers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs DAVIES Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Three degrees (when will I see you again). Patchy fog and ice until 11am where I am. I imagine the rural areas will be colder. Be careful out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanW Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 There is a slight amount of ice on the roofs of both our cars, but none on the road that I can feel. But there "could" be some about in the lanes, so take care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveM Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 So what happened? Looked OK at 08.40 so I set off for Tardebigge and made good time without seeing any sign of ice. Just before the meeting point I met Phil C who was under the impression we had missed the group, but we carried on and found them ( Ivor, Chris Thompson and Barry L) attending to Barry's front tyre. It was quickly sorted and we made for Bradley Green and Inkberrow. Soon after leaving Radford we were caught by John S, Pete C and Chris Poole. At Hillers we joined the warm sun and the Solihull in the 'tent'. Thick brown toast and marmalade all round in we sat back to wait for the 'A's... and waited....and waited till nearly noon then gave up. On the return leg we passed Tony and Ken coming the other way at Inkberrow and presumed that they must have had a very late start. A pleasant ride back in the now warm sun as far as Priest Bridge where Chris P and I said goodbye to the group to take the back route to Droitwich. We had some luck at both Shell Ford and Himbleton where the flood water was a safe depth to ride through. Great day out with Ivor, barry L, John S, Phil C, Pete C, Chris P and Chris T. And the 'A's?

TonyS Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 You're right, Dave. Ken & I had an 11.00 start owing to ice still evident at 10.00. We had hoped to see you closer to Hillers and ride back with the group, however we carried on and landed at Hillers just after Mike & Owen had arrived via Lenches route. After obligatory tea and toast, and a rear wheel puncture for Mike, we then rode back with them. However, just before we saw your group we spied Gary on his own, so there's another mystery? Finally we saw Pete Carbutt at Tardebigge, but then that's not unusual! Nice day out, still some standing water in our area but dare I say starting to dry up at last? Saw one mad idiot in shorts so summer can't be far away :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Hazlewood Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Sorry we missed the B,s at Hilliers, having made a later start than normal as posted Owen and myself picked a route avoiding Flooded roads and made our way via the Lenches and Harvington arriving at the cafe after you lot had left. Thanks for warming our seats for us !. Soon joined by Ken and Tony, and was glad for a couple of wheels to follow for the return trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanW Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I came past Hilliers about 11:30 and it looked like there was a group just leaving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
