Matt Hale

Hello Si, me and Toby will aim to meet you at Hillers around 10am (and then ride back with you). Hope that's ok

Matt Hale

We were joined at the BH by James Tate and Keith Adcock to make 8 of us. Watched the first four laps before heading back for home before we baked in the sunshine. Great atmosphere, lots of support from local clubs at the roadside

Matt Hale

Planning a trip to the men's road race (starts at 12:30) Leave BH at 9:30, café stop at 'The Farm', Snitterfield, then on to watch the road race at Hampton on the Hill. The race is 10 laps of the 16km course, not sure how long we'll stay, so try and have a copy of the route if you need to leave by a...

One more here from the entertaining Sigma sports café ride series with some locations that will be familiar to some:

Could you add me too please, see you at the BH Noel

Matt Hale

Have you checked eBay? Quite a few on there. Are you after a specific model number?

Matt Hale

...yes certainly could be useful for spotting hairpins on a descent

Matt Hale

me and Toby are joining

Matt Hale

Shame you couldn't make it Barry... maybe next time 😉 Slightly delayed start as we waited a while to see if Mike Quinn would join us, but no sign and eventually left the BH at 9am. Phil G rode with us until Bewdley (hoping to get back before the rain?). We stayed dry until we crossed the River Teme ...

Matt Hale

See you there Barry

Matt Hale

Bit longer than a normal B ride, so leaving BH at 8:45 Plan is to stop at Burford House (Tenbury Wells), then climb to Clee HIll village from Caynham...(Titterstones Clee summit optional, we can decide on the day depending on interest/how people are feeling). Maybe an ice cream stop/refreshment stop...

Thanks for a great ride today Matt, and all your hard work at the front on a very windy day.

Thanks Phil, yes a tough ride with just 3 of us, a challenging route and the strong gusty winds. Good to see you. Thanks also to you and Stuart for the turns on the front

Matt Hale

I'll take a B ride to Clows Top... around 60miles, stopping at either colliers farm or the larch barn

A tough route with about as many hills as I could cram in. We set off from the BH with Andy Wrightson also joining. George Barker met us at the café for some much needed refreshment. As we climbed Shatterford bank and turned for Trimpley, Mike unfortunately **flat**d and had a tough time trying to g...

Weather is looking a little better for Sunday so will take a B ride to Arley Arboretum.

Thanks all. 6 of us as planned on the Bridgnorth B ride. Nice stop and a bonus spin up to the top of the cliff funicular for the views across the Severn. Few v. light showers, but the heavy rain held off thankfully. Headwind on the way back a bit of a slog (or maybe it was just the last climb that s...

Matt Hale

The weather's looking a bit unpredictable for Sunday, so will hope for dry weather Saturday instead. B ride to Bridgnorth, stopping at Bishop Percy's House, leaving the BH at 9:15.

What was the cafe like? It looks rather splendid on the internet.

Would normally go to Den café when around Shelsley Walsh/Stanford bank, but a good alternative and similar quality (food maybe slightly better???).

Matt Hale

All present on the 5 star B ride + James Bendle from the cancelled A ride. First time at Apple tree farm... very nice, recommended - will be returning.

Bonus points to those that stopped at Nothing bound

Matt Hale

No problem Pete... thanks for letting me know. Enjoy the route

Might see you at the café, Matt, but have a social engagement the night before, so will have to see.

Hopefully see you there George (prob around 11:15). I'll include you below so that I can give the cafe an idea of numbers

Matt Hale

Updated route/café stop details (Den café currently closed on Sundays): I'll take a B/B+ ride to Apple tree kitchen (Portland's farm, Clifton upon Teme), maybe stopping at Nothing Bound in Heightington for a swift refreshment on the way back ;) Meet at 9 for 9:15 start. Here's the route: https://rid...

Thanks Phil, yes realised that the number of rides next week might be influenced by those riding the Mad March Hare...

Unfortunately I won't be out on Sunday (due to other commitments)

Matt Hale

Next Sunday is the 13th, but thinking a week ahead, it's a well-known fact that nothing ever happens on Sunday March 20th, so that is now a 'Club Run Reunion day' . We are hoping for at least 3 traditional club runs, all leaving the Black Horse at 09:15

Matt Hale

next club run sorted then Si

Matt Hale

I'll give it a go please Si - sign me up

Matt Hale

Hi George,
I'll potentially be able to assist with the ride...returning from injury, so could be a good test. Happy to confirm once more details are added

Matt Hale

Hi Michelle, great see you in the morning

Matt Hale · Re: B ride to Upton Snodsbury, Sunday 9th Jan, 9:15am See you there Phil

See you there Phil

Matt Hale

Hi Michelle, I would expect it to be around 15mph for the overall ride... faster on the way out. Be good to see, if you decide to join us

Matt Hale

Hi George, yes would expect to be arriving at the café around 10:45...be good to see you there

Matt Hale

The forecast for the weekend looks like it's going to be a tad chilly...as long as the roads aren't too bad, I'll lead a B ride to the Twisted Spoon in Upton Snodsbury Here's the route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/38305901 Sign up below Matt Hale (L) Louise Crowley Stuart Jones Cai Lyons Ewan Ros...
