Sean Barker Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 I made my way to Rednal but the rain and the forecast of worse to follow left me a lone figure on that hilltop. After waiting a while I headed to Tardebigge where I happened upon Mick McClure and Chris Kent seeking shelter under the bridge. After a brief assessment of the situation we decided we’d look for a somewhat less ambitious ride and headed instead for Julies in Droitwich. Alas upon arriving there we were to discover that she had closed an hour before so we decided to head for Stourport and after some deliberation chose De Boor’s garden centre. Conversation flowed at the café stop, where we discussed the Eastern philosophies of Laozi, Confucius and Buddha before moving onto the altogether more modern philosophical concept of transactional analysis. All in all after an afternoon with those two I have a headache and need a lie down in a darkened room. Great ride and great company. Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisP Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 What weather light drizzle when i started out but waterproof on by the time i reached the Forest. Would have thought about returning home if I'd been there alone but seven other fools already waiting. Decision time capes on lets get on with it. I had already sorted a route in the anti clockwise direction for Upton upon Severn. Hoping it would stop no one questioned having a different destination. The roads to Ombersley and Holt Heath were quite busy and wet but it didn't take long to reach there. We turned left for Hallow then entered the lanes and rode out through Broadheath and on to Leigh Sinton before turn to face the climb up to West Malvern by this time the rain had stopped roads were dry and waterproof were removed. The young climbers made quicker progress along the main British Camp road but not knowing which decent i would be using to drop to Upton chose the wrong one and ended up five minutes behind Hannah, MickH, JohnC and myself. The return journey was more pleasant warmer dryer with the wind behind us. After such an awful start it turned in to a good day out. in the company of Hannah Owen Lee De Speedy Kev Young Dave Mick H John Cartwright and Myself A well deserved stop at Upton Marina cafe to dry out and fill up the tank. Just coming up to a well known cafe near Deford on the way home. Could make a good Tuesday stop!!!! Lots of good miles and riding group. Total 90 miles by the time i reached home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisKENT Posted May 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 A most sincere Well-Done the 'A's:- real Heroes One & All! And I thought we three had done well in just going out on what to begin with was a most miserable & unpleasant morning. It's good to hear that they kept up the best traditions of the Saracen.
