Club runs - 4th December
On a fine November day, we had 38 people out on club runs on Sunday. Speaking to people from other clubs, this is a really good effort. Having three rides named in advance encourages many to turn up, so hopefully there was something for everyone.
Good to see so many on the C-run, in fact, plaudits are due to Andy Wrightson and Si Walker, who followed guidelines to the letter by splitting the ride into two given the turnout.
It's the Awards night this Saturday night, but nothing stops club runs, except ice...oh, and audaxes...oh and rain...but not hangovers. This weeks rides are:
A: Wellesbourne - Ade Ravenscroft
B: Alcester - Nick Shenton
C: Alcester (but not stopping at a cafe) - Colin Hall
Intro Ride: Akamba - Andy Terry - CANCELLED due to icy conditions

Dare I ask the route.....Nicks_77 wrote:Sunday's sobering B Run to Alcester will be approx 60 miles in length heading out via Tardebigge and returning via Stoke Prior and Chaddesley Corbett.
I'm expecting a few sore heads on Sunday morning but hoping the prospect of a greasy fry up at the cafe will draw a few out to play.

I was thinking more about how many we were gonna go past my house rather than the amount of climbing NickNicks_77 wrote:

Re: A Run
Hello Ade. Not around myself as I will be attending Melvyn Bragg Fanclub Convention. However, I have placed your announcement along with the other club runs on our Facebook Announcement Page and that will generate some riders. https://www.facebook.com/Beacon-Roads-C ... 978192135/AdeR wrote:I'll lead an a run if people want one.

There could be a young Spanish lady from Madrid for the Intro ride. She will be on a mountain bike if she arrives. She really prefers to do MB leisure riding but can't find any clubs around the B'ham area that offer this so would like to join us.
I am sure there should be enough testosterone to assist her, if she needs it or not!

As two keen new riders turned up at Black Horse we did a cautious Intro ride which turned out all right - out on the gritted A38 return on lanes.
Intro Ride to Avoncroft Buildings Museum Tea Room (opens at 10.30 - thanks to Jason for undoing the bolt and guy in the Shop for letting us warm up for 20 mins!)
Dave Cox (leading)
Nathalia Barroso
Georgia McDowell
Jason Green (return sweeper)
Derek Reynolds (outgoing sweeper)
Good to meet Nathalia and Georgia both ready for C Run once Nathalia gets her road bike.
Welcome back Jason after back injury and training for the Snowdrop

The reconvened C ride to Bewdley was delight in the sunshine, be it rather chilly. Lots of condensing steam from the locomotive leaving the station as we arrived into the town. Approx. 45 miles and 13.9 mph. Riders were;

Paul (Woah woah Ice) Johnson
James (Scar Face) Tate
Andy Wrightson
Neil Lynch
Graham Gamblin

Amazingly given the amount of ice and frost we encountered along the route there were no incidents. I personally put this down to the skill of the leader but others will disagree

Thanks for leading Dave, enjoyed the ride, blew the rust out of my legs but perhaps a couple of weeks of solo before I do a C run!!
Nice to see potential new members even on a day like today, a good sign.
