This mornings early mist gave way to a gloriously sunny and warm September day, and stunning views across the Moorlands and beyond.
On today's rather lumpy Alternative Club ride in the Staffordshire Moorlands were:-
Nick Shenton (L)
Andrew Clayton
Matt Clegg
Alistair Hey
Gareth Cadd (Good to see you after all this time mate, glad to see you back out on the bike)
We also must not forget poor old John Hunt who had driven all the way up and kindly ferried Gareth, only to find that he'd left his cycling shoes at home.
Sorry John, I'm sure we'll get some mileage out of this one for the next week or so
Thanks to those who attended & don't forget our next excursion in a few weeks time for the Cat & Fiddle Challenge.

Many thanks to Charlie and Andy for sweeping and guiding people home, I hope Giovanni's tyre held out on the return.
Two blowouts from a defective Conti tyre and El Presidente's cassette didn't get beyond Northfield but Dave swopped wheels or bikes and came direct.
Good day out and good company.
We also met a gentleman of 92 who had been President of Solihull CC for 20+ years back in the day!

Matt Hale (leading)
Ian Taylor
Keith Adcock
Matt Regan
Alan Weaver
Laurence Cooley
Craig Walmsley
Ben Walmsley

A good group today and the outbound leg was largely uneventful bar an errant Garmin and a minor incident (that we won't mention) at the café stop involving pea shingle and topiary!
Thanks everyone for a good day out

Yes, we were heading for Kempsey and took a left so the Malvern hills were on our right. Checked the sat nav and put in Warndon village. Giovanni put in Rubery and it showed the same route. Oddly it took us south so eventually we hit the A46 and headed north. Nice run but a bit busy in places. Happy to say there were no further mechanicals.
