Sean Barker Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 I'll be there so if anyone wants to bring along a tenner (or £8 if you are an Audax UK or CTC member) I can get their entry to the Saracen Audax sorted out at the cafe. We need to get these sorted out ASAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovi Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Well what a great ride today, Shame the A run got lost, I blame the leadership,,,,,Where"s the discipline? Seriously tho.it was great to see such a crowd out today. I have changed my mind about a collective noun for Saracens,,,Swarm is better than Horde, the jerseys have a Wasp- like look ,when there is a crowd...sorry- Swarm. If our numbers continue to grow we shall need 3-runs, (Abillity wise also). Should we call them A1-A2-&A3 runs?. OTHER clubs have B&C runs. Cheerio BUZZZZZ....

Sean Barker Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 I'd just like to add it was great to see so many Saracens out today, it must have been the best part of thirty riders. Also great to meet Hannah at last and particularly pleasing to meet two debutantes Mark and Richard who seemed to enjoy their first rides with the Saracen and will hopefully become regulars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauralane Posted July 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 And Matt and Emma. They did really well!! First ride out with the A's!! No going back now ;) Hopefully out with us again next week x Oh and I've burnt. Again. After topping up on sun cream several times. It's on a different part of my arms and legs though this time. Slightly stripy. Like a burnt zebra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Hazlewood Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 A big welcome to Emma and Matt, Mark and also Laura's brother Richard who joined us today. I hope you all enjoyed the run and look forward to seeing you out with us again soon. Very well done to you all and would like to say it was a pleasure to have your company. It was also nice to meet Lee on the run as I have been racing the last few Sundays when he has been out. Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Barker Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Sorry Emma and Matt. Unfortunately I didn't get to meet you today it really was a big group, I'll say hello and introduce myself next time. Glad you enjoyed what was a long and hot ride today.

Mark69 Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Thank you so much for your warm welcome today, I thoroughly enjoyed the ride. Big thank you to Chris (?) for getting me back to Burcot when my legs went! Only 4 miles left!! Ah well, for a first run, I'll not be too hard on myself, I thoroughly enjoyed the route and the company. Nice people and a pleasure to ride with you. I learned loads (need suntan lotion, 2 bottles, higher cadence and more endurance!). Will be back hopefully Sunday. Have just got to London with aching limbs and pro tan lines. Proud! Thanks again all, will keep pace ALL the way next time! Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisP Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 What a great turn out and ride today. Sorry it was a little further than intended but I have to blame that one on following Owen. I clocked up 93 miles by the time I got home. Well done to the newbies. Matt & Emma I hope he made the tea when they got home. Richard, Laura's brother for not letting her give him a hard ride like big sisters hope to. And well done to Mark for sticking at it back up to Tardebigge it does get easier some days. Nice pictures Sean I like how you captured Owens kiddies corner. Must now dream up somewhere for next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveM Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Wanted to get a post off as soon as I arrived home today because we had such a great day, but I had to go straight out. There were five of us waiting at the Tardebigge and I for one did not believe the huge group that approached us from under the bridge was the Saracens. We joined the bunch and that made the numbers up to 25! Pretty soon we decided that in the interest of safety a split was needed. This worked quite well after people settled down till the leading group went off in a different direction to those behind. At this point our leader decided that we should go for the 'group with the biggest mileage' prize and took a meandering route near to Warwick. When we eventually arrived at the cafe, Ivor's party were mounting their bikes, in between fits of laughter, for the return leg. Surprisingly at this point, some of his crew mutinied electing to return with the 'A's, giving them an extended break. Eventually we got off our backsides and after a quick look at the map ( not that we had lost confidence in our leaders sense of direction ) we decided to return via Alderminster and Long Marston. A steady uneventful journey back to Bradley Green where I said farewell and made for Droitwich. Some out today must have recorded a fair mileage and I must say our guests coped very well indeed. I hope that they got as much pleasure from today as we did by having them join us. There will be some sore legs tomorrow. Out in all sorts of groups today were Emma, Laura, Hannah, Ken, Pete C, Sean, Mike H, Owen H, Kev, John S, Brian Bourne, Mark, Matt, Little Richard, Lee, Tony S, Alan W, Barry, Richard K, Ivor, Derek B, John Poole, Graham K, Chrises K, P1, P2, and T plus myself. Record turnout? Apologies if I have omitted anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattandEm Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Hi all. Best ride EVER! Fab people, lovely scenery and awesome cake. Matt and I had a fantastic time and can't wait to come out with you guys again - although next time he's promised not to make me ride the Malverns the day before . I am currently sat in bed nursing two rather achy legs - but isn't it weird that the ache you get from having a blast of a day on a bike is the best feeling in the world?! See you all in two weeks time! Em and Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardJKeyte Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Hi everyone ! Firstly a massive thank you for letting me ride with you and also the warm welcome. Thanks to Laura as well for getting me involved. Was a brilliant ride, the numbers were amazing. Felt great to be part of such a big group. Can't wait to get back out with you lot! Going to keep mainly to the B team, so I'm used to hitting the bigger distances more regularly. Looks forward to seeing you all soon! X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
