Hannah Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Sooooooo then chaps.... any destinations in mind for the A's this Sunday? I'm not going to lie, a route that is a tad less bumpy/long would be preferable! I'm still recovering from last Sunday's ride! With that said Owen has kindly tweaked the fit of my Lexa to hopefully make the saddle region a little less.... excruciating!!! Still, if it's a lumpy long route for the A's I might opt for a more steadier ride with the B's just to ease myself back in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Hazlewood Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 A new cafe was mentioned for this Sunday's A run which is in the direction of Bobbington airfield via Kinver which we went too a couple of weeks ago. This is not yet confirmed but there are a few hills to climb. There is also Time for Tea at Kenilworth which could not accommodate us last Sunday due to a party of walkers going for Xmas lunch. Flatter route except for a few hills at the start of the ride on the way out. Watch this space for updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyS Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Should be at Tardebigge, subject to usual caveats. Best to let them know we're coming, they may be geared up for Christmas lunches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyS Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Thanks Dave, only just got back home so saved me a job. Ivor, Sean - ChrisT is planning to be at Rednal, too. My road was treacherous with frost this morning, even walking was tricky, so I'll have to see what state of play is in the morning before I venture out. If it's ok I'll be at Tradebigge on time. Otherwise I may see you there. Better safe than sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Barker Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 The forecast is saying it will be a few degrees warmer tomorrow than it was today so here's hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDavie Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Will pop out and brave the cold and see how far I make it tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Cox Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Shouldn't be icy today but as a warning to the wise one of Alan Weaver's friends came off yesterday and fractured his hip. Ride safe especially around Tardebigge which seems to have it's own rib tickling micro climate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Cox Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 As per previous post remember that lane second right turn after Tardebigge stays icy between the high hedges. I've come down there two years running - some people never learn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyS Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 2C here and my road is white. 2 hours to decision time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Barker Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Everything looks good here in Stirchley but I know how things can change once out of the city limits. I'll be at Rednal for 9:15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Barker Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Ivor won't be out this morning so I will lead. The only problem being is I don't know the Craycome venue. So if no one else does by Tardebigge I'll head for Pershore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyS Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Come on Sean, don't confuse everyone. Craycombe farm, down hill to Fladbury x roads, turn left towards Evesham and it's 400m on left, opposite golf club. Simples! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyS Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Don't count on it. Still frost on my road and shed roof, plus ice in an empty plant pot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Hazlewood Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 The A's decided on quality rather than quantity today with there run so we gate crashed the B's little party at Craycombe. We took a safe route avoiding any black spots were icy roads are usually a problem which meant a few more main roads than we would normal travel down, but better safe than sorry. Went out via Sambourne,Alcester,Wixford,Bidford and then towards Evesham and round the Lenches rather than over them. Out today were KevinY, SpeedyK, JohnS, Lee, Owen, PhilD ( good to have you with us ) and myself. ChrisP had another lie in and made his own way to meet us at the cafe and Hannah had a lie in and didn't get up until 2 o'clock ! ( Youngsters, Ha ! ). Mentioned something about being to tired and having to do some housework. Sat around the table at Craycombe on arrival were Sean, Tim, ChrisT, DaveM and Mick Mc. The staff as always looks after us well at Craycombe and supplied us with the biggest tea pot I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Barker Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Great ride today. I met the other B Riders (Chris Thompson and Mick McClure) at Rednal and we headed for Craycombe via Tardebigge where we picked up Tim. Just as we'd missed out turn we met Dave Mitchel heading towards us, who then led us there. I enjoyed riding the mountain bike today and must admit I feel considerably safer on it in these winter conditions. Boozers run next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyS Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Went out at 10.30 when thermometer got above 4C. Still b cold, tough headwind and still evidence of ice in the lanes. Did a non stop and pleased to get back inside. Glad everyone had a safe ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
