10 of us on the A run today which looked like it was going to be a soggy one at first, it rained for about the first half hour then a yellow thing appeared in the sky! Just 1 flat which was when we'd stopped at the cafe and Neil Lynch had a small problem with his mudguard (cable ties to the rescue) ...

neilo

Just the 3 of us braving the cold!
Incident free and only a couple of patches of severe ice,
Riders were-
Phil Elwell
Neil Orchard
Steve Tudor
Cheers fellas.

neilo

I'll copy Phil's decision then, see you at 9.15.

neilo

I'll lead an A run 'burst' depending on the weather, a few main roads to start but should still be quiet, 40ish miles and back before 12.
I'll make a final decision by 8.15 so watch this space!

neilo

I'll lead an A run on the 10th February to Warwick.

neilo

I can help out Ade, might need a reminder nearer the time.

Cheers for leading today Rob I really enjoyed it!
Thanks to everyone else for the company, hope you're injuries aren't too bad Rob.

Cheers Chris.

What time you planning on leaving from the hill climb Chris?

It's the England v Panama game on Sunday kicking off at 1 o clock so I'll lead an A run beacon burst starting at 8.30, around 50 miles and flattish so should be back no later than 11.30.

neilo

Thought it was k34/10 this week Mart?

neilo

A well disciplined group of 7 enjoyed the spring sun (and wind) on the A run today, a smooth ride with no incidents apart from a tractor who's driver caught site of Andy Wrightsons ears in his rear view mirror and lost control momentarily through total amazement! <@> A runners in alphabetical order ...

neilo

Hope to see you then George.

neilo

It was going to be coffee and more George as the owner said he'd open up for us a couple of weeks ago, turns out he's in Lanzarote now so it'll have to be coffee #1 or the pub opposite does breakfast.

neilo

I'm able to lead an A run now so my annual trip to pershore on Sunday it is!

neilo

Ok Laurence cheers.

neilo

Hiya Dave, did Josh attach the poster with his details?

neilo

Andy was ok Dave, just a bit shaken as we all would be, we were on a narrow country lane and the car came at some speed, it's wing mirror caught his elbow.

neilo

No problem phil, we came through Drayton on the way back and all saluted you as we passed

neilo

Right where do I start with this one! Dr Whiteman had to cancel leading as he split the nail on the little toe on his left foot, we ventured to halfpenny green airport instead lead mainly by Alistair Hey. One flat, one broken chain, a dodgy front wheel and a few hills all thrown in along with Andy m...

neilo

Superb Dave, can't wait to see the suit and sandal combination

neilo

Thanks for leading today Paul.

neilo

I'm in again please.

neilo

Don't know what you're talking about Al, I was referring to your cheese on toast

neilo

Thanks for leading today Phil, great navigational skills as well with all the new ponds everywhere! Cafe was a good find, good food, quick service, Mr Weaver thoroughly enjoyed himself.
Happy new year to everyone!

neilo

Thankyou for leading today's A run Phil, nice flat route on some smoooooth tarmac, note to ones self.....if you order your food first, expect it last!!!

A great ride out to Malvern today and it was rain free! Was good to see the pro's on the kom section flying passed us in their big rings (apart from cav on his own at the back) Sight of the day had to the old ladies face in the cafe when Barry asked for a machiato! 'its an espresso with a little bit...

neilo

Route goes out via dayhouse/quantry lane Barry, 85ish miles 6000 ft climbing.
I suspect it may be pretty busy at British army camp for food so if we struggle there we'll stop in Upton after the tour has passed through.

neilo

I'll help out on Sunday, will ride over and get there for 10.30ish.

neilo

You're too kind Phillip! Yes many congratulations to Jess on an amazing achievement, absolutely brilliant!! I'm going to change my destination to malvern on the 10th to coincide with the Tour of Britain going through there from Worcester, the peleton are due there around 11.40 so it'll most probably...

neilo

Some interesting rides there Chris! I've always wanted to knock lejog off the bucket list so would be interested in that, would be good to do it in a beacon group.

I'll lead the A run on the 10th September to Draycote Water
