Sunday 16th Aug A ride

[ChrisP]

After a few weeks of it was good to ride with the group again.

We set of for a new cafe suggested by Kevin Y a few weeks ago in Chipping Camden.

The only drawback was the little climb of Saintbury before getting there.

Unfortunately one or two weren't familiar with the climb.

Looking at the B group it seems there were plenty of Saracen rides on the roads today.

Our party consisted of  Hannah, Owen H, Tim F, Lee De G, Speedy Kev, Kevin Y, Alec W, Dave S and myself,

 

NOTE!  will complete report when picture download is sorted.

Looking back from the top of Saintbury Hill for two lost soles.

Here comes Alec, started of fast like a hound out of the trap until he turned the first corner and saw the road disappear up through the trees.

Its been very quiet but is that Hannah I can see.

So it is no smiles now just lots of heavy breathing.

Maybe take Michelle up here see if has the same effect.

A welcome break nice cafe good food and drink.

Getting ready for the return trip not sure about Hannah.

Just a couple of pic's as a reminder. More hill climb practice needed?

 

Thanks to all for a great day out good weather and company.

What can I find for next time?

There's a look of dismay in Tim F's face at the cafe. Poor Alec looks smashed, and Lee's face pretty much sums up how I was feeling!!!

How is it the fixed wheel rider looks so damn fresh? He's definitely inherited the hardy Hazlewood gene!!!

A tough route, but a climb I'd like to visit again when I have the strength/confidence to conquer the bloody thing!
