ROOM FOR ONE MORE ONLY - A-Ride to British Camp, Malvern - Sunday 12th June leaving BH at 08:45

Post by WorcsPhil » 07 Jun 2022 17:04

I'll take a traditional A-ride this Sunday to the excellent cafe hut at British Camp in Malvern, although we could decamp to the H20 cafe if needed.

This leaves the Black Horse at 08:45 prompt and will probably be at the top (British Camp) in Malvern about 11:15...this is a 137kms (85miles) club run so a little further than normal, but what the heck, it's a nice forecast so let's do it.

Route is here:
https://ridewithgps.com/routes/39727312

Riding (in alphabetical order) are:

James Bendle
Sam Boswell
Huan Dong
Paul Johnson
Neil Lynch
Neil Orchard
Phil Richards (L)
Amarjit Sanghera
Karl Walton
Pete Warwick
Andy Wrightson

Sounds great. I’ll tag on at the Tesco express on Braces lane if that’s ok. Probably about 9?

Good turnout tomorrow.

Note that the cafe is rumoured to take cash only, so bring a fiver (or tenner) along.

I will join you at the 10mile mark on Timberhonger Lane at about 09:20 and Andy W will lead you out to there from the Black Horse at 08:45. Expecting high etiquette as normal :D , and with this size of peloton, shout out cars and potholes up and down the group please, and when I shout 'single out' please do so, and top marks to the 7th rider if he/she drops off 80 yards or so to enable a car size gap, which helps them damned beasties when overtaking on the very few busy roads on this route.

See you tomorrow.

Good turnout of 11 (as listed above) for a run up to British Camp on the top of the Malvern hills. A few good testers on the way there, but a flat and fast tailwindy ride back. Thanks to all the riders for a splendid and entertaining ride with the usual high quality banter including the description of one hill as … “F***ing steep as f***”…. Watch out for Ned Boulting using this sort of description during the Tour.
