After a ridiculously wet start to the year, where amazingly nearly 20 riders turned out in an assortment of appropriate clothing, drier weather must be in order this week.

A: Evesham - Keith Adcock
B: Pershore - Neil Orchard
C: Kinver - Andy Wrightson

B run will be to Pershore this week just to keep Mr Johnson happy.

Yes the suspense was killing me!

Hi

Andy Wrightson has volunteered to lead a lumpy C run to Kinver on Sunday, but he can't post on here for some reason, so has asked me to post this.

Cheers

Hels

Well done Andy not been to Kinver in a while looking forward to it!

Congrats Andy on taking a club run. You will have to go a little easier on people than you were to me on Thursday!

Keith and Neil, do you have the routes Garmin available?

Ha! I wish I had the ability to control people, but I'm just the messenger!

Just the bog standard route for tomorrow

Got an Idea for an 'eyebrow raiser' for later in the year

Right then, who is going to step forward to sort the carnage out of the B run then??

I blame Neil....

C run to Kinver
A shorter route than usual, but good fun and lots of riders + lots of new riders. The cafe on Kinver Edge looked very busy so we carried on to Olgas in Kinver - good service considering that there were so many of us.

And goodness me, didn't she jump.....

47 people for a club run in January.

Many apologies! I take all the blame obviously had to roll/walk most of the way home. Sounds like you all had fun anyway.

Thanks Keith great a run today it was nice to be back out.

Thanks for leading Keith... nice run out, certainly blew the cobwebs away!

Yes, thanks Keith, a sprightly A-run for a January day.

Great to see nearly 50 riders out today (including Lemmy on the A-run for one last hurrah)...was that the good weather or the popularity of the leaders?

I'll add Chris Ashford to the list who appeared on both A and B rides at various times, and possibly both cafes.

Thanks Andy and Dave for yesterday's C run, it was good fun, and good to be on a club run again after nearly six months off. Lovely day for it too.

Apologies for shooting off the B ride. Not normally my style, but I was getting really cold and needed to put in some efforts to try and warm up.

It sounds like i missed the excitement on the B run!

Chris
