Sunday 13th June A Ride (Colliers, Clows Top) 08:45 Depart

Post by caashford » 09 Jun 2021 10:49

Its been a while since I lead a ride so felt like I should step up. The plan is to follow the Mad Mare Hare route, with a stop at Colliers on the Top of Clows Top. I will have a fiddle with the route later today, but it should be roughly like this, with a 08:45 departure from the Black Horse:

Hi Michelle, average speed for A runs is usually 18mph (I think). I would have a check with Andy W and he can give you a better response for pace, but you are more than welcome along:-) Just let me know.

Might be a lower average for this route due to the climbing??

Well, 08:45 didn't bring the 30c tarmac melting that we thought, but it had certainly warmed up by the late morning. A good route taking in Kinver and Clows Top climbs as well as a few lumps out over Stourport and a drag up Twatling back to the Black Horse.
Only x2 on the ride, but we were joined by the chairman (Phil Richards) and Sam Boswell at Colliers. It was a 30min wait for food and drinks, but we were pre-warned, and its always nice to have a good excuse to rest the legs and enjoy the sunshine. Hopefully everyone made it back for the football!

Thanks Chris, just missed the start of the match, but didn't miss too much and plenty of time to see England score and register their first win in the opening game of the Euro's (ever). A tough route and challenging in the heat. Thanks for towing me round :)
