ChrisKENT Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 B Run Ladies & gents I propose that the B run also heads for Hidcote Gardens, which is actually closer to Mickleton than Chipping Campden!! as suggested by Chris Pardoe. I suggest we also take the same outward route: so rather than a second meeting point of Tardebigge after the Rednal meet/start I will be at the junction of Agmore Lane & Stoney Lane (which is almost opposite Wharf Lane). The run will then turn left into Stoney Lane towards Grange Lane & Cobley Hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyro_chris Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 so, 9:15 at Rednal then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisKENT Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 Yes Chris I'm sure that Sean will be there! For the benefit of those who would normally be at Tardebigge the location I have referred to for the second meeting place where I will be is as follows:- Ride under the bridge carrying the Bromsgrove - Redditch (A448) main dual carriageway to the 'T' junction B4096 Hewell Lane: turn left towards Burcot past Redditch Prison (Hewell Grange) before turning 1st right down hill to junction where left & immediately right into Wharf Lane: then follow it to staggered 'T' junction with Stoney Lane & Agmore Lane!!! Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Barker Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 Yep I'll pass through the Rednal start point around 9:15 and head for the second meet up point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauralane Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Today's ride was lovely. Apart from getting stung on the left boob by a wasp. That concludes my report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanW Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Apart from getting stung on the left boob by a wasp. That concludes my report. I was always told that if you do get stung, then the best thing was to get someone to suck the venom out, or have I just dreamt that a few moments ago......

Sean Barker Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Well today’s B run didn’t go exactly as planned but was a most enjoyable ride nonetheless. Chris Kent led us to Welford whereupon time constraints forced him to tell us that this was as far as he could go. It was then that Chris Thompson said that the extra distance to the intended destination would mean he would also be unable to get back to a prior commitment so we decided to stop there and enjoy a café break amidst the maypole festivities. Not quite sure what happened on the way back as Peter Cooper and I were cycling along and then became aware that Laura and Chris T were no longer with us, we stopped and waited a spell but figured that they must have taken a different route back. A great day's cycling on the kind of day that makes you realise why you endure the miserable winter months. Today’s B Run riders were Chris Kent Peter Cooper Sean Barker Laura (Fast) Lane Chris Thompson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisP Posted June 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 First day for shorts and summer tops. Long may this continue. A compact group of eight set of to try a new venue Hidcote Gardens near Mickleton. We set of at a good pace unfortunately a tail wind on the way out again. Flying down Cobley Hill we caught the B's Chris K deciding to take them over Rowney Green as we turned right for Redditch. Making good time we reached Hidcote by 11:30, although the sun had bought lots of tourists out it didn't take to long before we all had tea and cakes and were sitting outside making the most of the sunshine. It wasn't long before Alan Philpott join us having made his way there via Stanway and Chipping Camden. The group was made up of. John S John P Tim Farmer (a newbe friend of John P looking for company) Dave C (guest) Gary W Speedy Kev Kev Y Myself AWOL Lee De Owen H Hannah S John C No doctor's notes submitted. Just look at that BLUE SKY. Great ride as usual and new stop enjoyed by all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Fab photos chaps!!! Sorry we weren't able to join you. Owen is still recovering from food poisoning - now confirmed by Lee De Grays own turn for the worse in health. While Owen has returned to work there has been no sign of Lee since Sat 30th May - other than a text message to Mick H describing his symptoms. Owen and I did tootle down to the Jinney Ring late yesterday afternoon, but even that left me feeling tired and Owen feeling squiffy. I'm racing on Saturday with the Fast Lane but should be up for a club run as normal on Sunday. Hope the clear blue skies and bright sunshine continue!

Sean Barker Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Sorry to hear that Owen is still struggling (must have been a nasty bug) and that Lee has now been struck down. Get well soon guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Sorry to have missed what sounded a good run, but the doctor said my body could not cope with an 80+ mile ChrisP special on Sunday morning sandwiched between 2 squash matches on Sat & Sun afternoon so I took advantage of the weather with a much shorter/slower ride (ok I wimped out). I do have a valid excuse for next week as I’m on holiday. Talking of excuses, Owen and I did tootle down to the Jinney Ring late yesterday afternoon, but even that left me feeling tired I hope others aren’t getting them in ahead of the big showdown (Fast Lane vs Pocket Rocket) on Sat.

Hannah Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Ha ha haaaa John! It's hard work looking after a Hazlewood! Exhausting even! Don't worry, this week it's roller sessions, sports massage and mental prep ready for the showdown between myself and the Fast Lane this Saturday! Hope your squash games went well dude!
