Due to the low temperatures overnight and amount of ice that's formed I will not be out this morning.

Therefore regrettably the B Run - Beacon Burst is cancelled.

If you do venture out this morning stay safe.

Dependent upon the weather this coming Sunday I will take a B Run paced Beacon Burst. I have no route planned as yet but it will be approx 50 miles. Selfishly I will be taking the ride back near to where I live as I need to be home for midday. If anyone wants to extend the ride afterwards then they ...

Morning all. There is some ice again this morning where I live so regretfully I'm going to have to say I won't be leading a B Run this morning. Also, I don't feel it would be appropriate or fair to other members leading them on lanes I've chosen to go down. I shall be going to The Swan for around 11...

I’m currently in two minds about taking the B Run to Halfpenny Green tomorrow. Although the roads and lanes are relatively clear of ice now the weather forecast for the morning doesn’t look great, so.... The plan will either be to do a non stop ride ending up at The Swan in Chaddesley Corbett or a c...

This weeks B Run will be to Spiders Web at Albrighton for the infamous doorstep sized slices of toast.

Distance will be approx 100km BH to BH, usual route out via Belbroughton, Kinver.

Thanks for leading Al. It seemed daft for just 3 of us to do the A Run when the majority wanted to go to Pershore.

Bugger!

Mr Johnson has beaten me to it. I was also going to say if no one pulled their fingers out I'd take the B Run this Sunday.

Looks like it's all down to the regular club run leaders again!!

Another lady who's name I didn't get also started off with us but didn't continue after around 5 miles into the ride. Someone did go back to look but she must have turned off somewhere.

Another utterly foul day out on the bike. On arriving at the Black Horse this morning in a warm, dry car, part of me was hoping no one would be stupid enough to turn up so I could make a hasty retreat home again. How wrong could I be....
