Sunday's sobering B Run to Alcester will be approx 60 miles in length heading out via Tardebigge and returning via Stoke Prior and Chaddesley Corbett. I'm expecting a few sore heads on Sunday morning but hoping the prospect of a greasy fry up at the cafe will draw a few out to play. Dare I ask the ...

Re: 20/11/12 Club run C
You could always volunteer Laurence! I'm curently following a training plan that calls for a two-hour zone 2 ride on Sunday, so not really compatible with club runs - unless the C run would appreciate doing laps of the Earlswood triangle in the rain. :? You could make it a Beacon Burst. Just a thou...

Same route as April, Neil? Out through Tardebigge? I'll probably meet you at Tardebigge as well, as I'm working in Southport again on Saturday evening till 10pm. :cry: At least if I meet you guys there I can have a bit more of a lie in. I could always lead another Beacon Burst around Redditch Al, w...

Thank you for all the positive comments about Sunday's Beacon Burst revival. I must admit I was a little worried about resurrecting the Beacon Burst on Sunday. My worries were mainly focused around not wanting to disenfranchise the other runs on the day. From the positive comments ive read so far I'...

Apologies for the last minute post but I will be unable to lead today's B Run due to illness. I've been suffering with a heavy cold the last few days which has now gone onto my chest so I think it would be unwise for me to be out riding. Anyone wishing to take the B to Bewdley this was my proposed r...

Alternative Club Ride - Sort of!
Ok so I may be stretching the Alt club ride a bit thin on this one but its the annual Rourkie's Cat & Fiddle Challenge on the 16th October, a ride I've participated in for the last 10 years or so. Its not a commercialised & over priced Sportive but a huge club run with proceeds going to CF which is ...

Following on from a popular excursion to Staffs & Cheshire last Sunday, I'm proposing to do another ride. This time we'll head out from the Staffordshire Moorlands to The Peak District. Heading off from my home town of Cheadle in Staffordshire we'll head out towards Alton, riding up past the famous ...

We shall then descend into the Cheshire lanes which are generally flat and head out to Jodrell Bank. After...

I'll be organising an alternative ride around the Staffordshire Moorlands and Cheshire on the 7th August. Usual rules apply, it'll be a relaxed social affair with the emphasis on enjoying the route and company. The pace will be aimed at the lower end of a B Run to encourage some of the C Riders to j...

Thanks to Paul for another disappointingly led B Run in which riders were advised of a "Pan Flat" ride out to Honeybourne. This was certainly not the case as we seemed to climb many rather stiff hills along the way. This I must say was not cricket, as riders were not advised of route changes before ...
