Moira Posted July 23, 2022 Report Share Posted July 23, 2022 Good morning thought we could venture out to the Marina at Upton on Severn in the morning we’ve not been there for a while . Yes Julie it’s actually close to Defford 🤣🤣🤣🤣 so you might recognise some of the roads . We will be going out via Priest Bridge then past Philpott’s Towers and out via Pinvin and the ford to see if John can make it past without falling into his favourite hedge 😝 TB 9.30 am 🚴♀️🌹🚴 As a club we ride The Tommy Godwin charity ride which this year is on Sunday 18 September 2022 entries are done on line.Some of us have entered already we are doing the 100 k ride so please join us to support a good cause. It is always a good day out and a nice change of lanes. Club colours to be worn preferably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moira Posted July 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2022 Well what a day !!!! Starting from TB John , Leigh , Bev , Julie and me apparently Micky D had a better offer and two timed us with another cyclist a blonde lady we all thought 😝 At Priest Bridge waiting for us we’re the Philpott’s both on there electric bikes luckily , Barry , Steve and his wife Jenny also on an electric. But Jen isn’t too confident riding in a group and after todays events I don’t blame her . They turned off and were heading to Springridge for a coffee and cake. Luckily the Philpott’s took the front much to mine and Julie’s relief as we had been battling into the head wind. As we were heading to Pinvin on the main road I didn’t realise that we had Tadej Pogacar with us as a certain person went of the road into the gravel at the side of the road luckily he nor anyone else came off. Just to prove his bike handling skills or maybe lack of them he did it again !!! Off to the ford Alan was on the front closely followed by John then me unbeknow to the rest of us they had agreed to cut through a gap in the fence so John would miss his favourite bush unfortunately a car came along and we had to stop suddenly .We were all good except Captain Chaso (aka Pogacar ) was causing havoc behind as he was unable to break and apparently got stuck on the barrier then couldn’t unclip . Luckily no more incidents after that except when arriving at the Marina at 11.30 am we discovered they had stopped serving food at 11 am. I forgot to say that Kevin Young past us about 4 times before joining us luckily he got his phone out and discovered that Clive’s of Upton ( same owner as Clive’s of Cropthorne) was just a mile up the road . So we all headed off there except for Leigh who went to Defford. I must say it was a lovely cafe stop better than the cafe in Cropthorne quicker service and they had big teapots always a bonus. Lots of other cyclists there to . Nothing of incident of note on the way home except just as we were coming out of White Ladies Aston we saw 2 cyclist in front one had a very familiar figure . It was Micky D not with a blonde but with Stuart we rode with then for a bit before they went a different way home . 75 miles for me yes I can to cycle up my road to get the magic 75 in not 74.68 m . A few photos the odd looking one shows Johns photo skills off x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
