ChrisKENT Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 I'm up for trying Chris's suggestion subject to weather with a shorter alternative of the railway carriage @ Milcote in the event of it being really wet!!!!

Alp Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Forest 9:30 ish weather permitting. Destination. Bottom of Cotswolds. new cafe somewhere between Toddington and Winchcombe. Chris, the cafe I use it at the Hailes Abbey Fruit Farm. As you proceed from the Toddington Island towards Winchcombe it is the 2nd left turn after about 1 mile. The cafe is about 0.5 mile from that junction, bearing left before the church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 How do chaps, nurse Smith here, reporting from the sick bay. Unfortunately, patient Owen Hazlewood is still suffering from yesterday's efforts at the 30TTT - an event in which he shared the company of Mickey Rourke and Lee De Gray. Since returning from the event the patient's health has deteriorated. Whether O's suffering is a result of the strenuous efforts of yesterday or a dodgy tuna sandwich (or two) consumed on site remains unclear; however what is clear is the impact it's had on his health. Painful stomach cramps, vomiting, inability to hold food or fluids and fatigue have been what sick bay has had to deal with today. Some may deem my absence from today's club run as inexcusable, but I'm a sucker for a poorly sick boyfriend. Sorry chaps. Mick popped in on his way home, and reported of valiant efforts by all made on a long ride impeded by winds and climbs! Bravo all. Wish we could have been there to ride with you guys.

JohnC Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Great ride today to the Hayles fruit farm cafe. Thanks to ChrisP for a different and interesting route, I clocked 87miles and 1100metres of climbing @ avg 17.5mph: by far the toughest c-run I have ridden, my legs are feeling it now. Get well soon Owen. Hannah: a poor excuse for not coming out today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisP Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Great days ride although a very grey start but the rain held of all day. Small drawback the headwind seemed to get stronger on the way back. Six of us met up at the Forest Kevin Y Speedy Kev Mick H Lee De John C (squeaky chain. Can any lone him some oil) Myself Sorry Owen couldn't make it Saturday's TTT must a little to much. Pity Hannah had to look after him I'm sure she would have enjoyed a hard ride. The new destination to Hales Fruit Farm cafe near Toddington made a welcome stop Just a little further than usual. Both groups meeting there added to the days pleasure. Thanks to Chris K for leading them there. On leaving the cafe I took our group on a little detour over the Cotswold starting with the climb up Stanway Hill before heading up to Broadway Tower. From there we dropped down towards Chipping Camden then descending Dovers Hill to Western Subedge. Returning home via Bidford and back round to Tardebigge where we caught up again with the other group. Big thanks to Kevin Y who did a great turn into the headwind from Western Subedge to Bidford after suffering a bad day out on Saturday watching Villa at Wembley. Sorry couldn't do anything about the direction of the wind but maybe next week will be warmer and brighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
