This one, but it all depends upon the weather. There's some stormy stuff happening on Sat, but it should blow over by Sun..

I am now available on Sunday, so can lead the A run: Cleobury Mortimer.

Out via Stourport
Return via Button Oak

Weather not looking too bad Sunday so I will lead a lumpy ride around Clent and Kinver
Brunch at Kinver Edge Farm café.
Make sure you come prepared for riding on lanes in winter. Spare tube essential, mudguards highly recommend.

All got utterly soaked on the B run to Worcester, as we seemed to ride into the worst of it on the way out. The return route was truncated due to roadworks and closed roads outside of Worcester.

A moderately challenging ride, but that is the nature of Cleobury Mortimer as a destination. Things became gradiently advantaged after Stourport. The direct route from Cleobury was surprisingly quick.

Cleobury Cafe served us well but it is perhaps not an ideal destination during the high season due to capacity and popularity. Today, there was a 45 minute wait on cooked food, so we took advantage of their bakery products.

Out via Chaddesley, Stourport, Pound Bank, Cleobury
Return: Shatterford Bank, Holy Cross.

At the cafe:

Philip Whiteman (L)
Steve Philpotts
Ian Taylor
Matt Regan (who rode very well, considering)
Keith Taylor
Phil Richards

As far as Stourport:
Andrew Clayton
Stuart White

Considering what phill 🙄??

Thanks for leading, Phil - a good day out, and very little of the rain that the B-ride experienced.

A classic 'considering' comment - in joke we're afraid.

And a nice way to announce Ian and Keith's civil partnership...

One more Taylor and we'd be Duran Duran...

Thanks for leading Phil, a dreadful route and terrible company made for an awful day out on the bike.
