TonyS Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Darren doesn't like Sunday surprises. I'll let him know you're going. No bacon butties or beans in toast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyS Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Darren is now expecting one or both runs, arriving between 11.00 and 11.30. Hopefully it'll still be warm enough to sit out in the garden. I've told him who the troublemakers are, so watch out - you know who you are!

ChrisP Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Late posting but suggest a trip to Shelsley Walsh via Holt Fleet and Ockeridge to see the hill climb. 9: 30 from the Forest for those interested. Juniors start 11:00 Cafe on site for refreshments. Prayers to be said for our climbers DaveM and PaulH at the bottom of the climb. Mandy on hand for mouth to mouth. Oxygen mask at the finish. Ladders optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyS Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 I suspect Ken & I may be sticking with Ivor - in case he gets lost! Casey Jones is inter-railing for a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyS Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 You're too kind, Ivor. But as you say, those who didn't make it missed out on an autumn classic, including new roads for some, chaos at the checkout, Barry drooling over a classic tandem and much discussion of vests and translucent shorts :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisP Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 As the Deford group said what another great autumn day for a bike ride. A small group of us set out form the Forest for the Shelsley Walsh hill climb. We set of lead by myself and JohnP closely followed by JohnS, GrahamK,ChrisPo and Speedy Kevin. Having crossed to the dark side of the A38 and knowing about the Big Bad Troll at Holt Fleet we shot across the Severn Bridge not daring to look over either side before turning into uncharted lanes and heading through Ockeridge to our destination. What a stunning place to met many old friends. We headed to the cafe for our first round of tea and cakes where we were joined by Dave and RuthS. We settled down for some serious chatting but GrahamK soon reminded us what we there for and after a short stroll to the start line just managed to see the rear of PaulH who was taking a deep breath before tackling the wall ahead of him. From there we took a short walk up the hill to our next view point just in time to see DaveM climb past. After some discussion about the danger of trying to ride up hills fast at a certain age the decision was made to return to the cafe for further refreshments. Watching grown men in lycra struggling over the front of the handle bars can be very distressing. We settled down again in a crowded room filled with cyclist and were soon joined by Dave and Judy Jones. On leaving the cafe DaveM joined us for the return ride home but before we could set of two guys wanted to take our picture for the club kit. What a great place pity it's not open every Sunday only about 25 miles from the Forest. EASY THIS WAY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
