Anyway, these week's rides are:
A: Mickleton (Decades Tea room) - Phil Richards
B: Bewdley SVR - Alan Weaver
C: Flyford Flavell - George Barker
Moderators: WorcsPhil, Beacon RCC, George, laurence_cooley, David Cole, Andy Terry, neilo
The very least he deserved!!!
If the Decades meets everyone's satisfaction then please feel obliged to give me the credit for the wise identification of a cafe venue. Alternatively, if Decades proves to be a complete disaster then blame Phil Richards. More seriously though, I did not establish whether they appreciate advanced warning of group visits, so a call may be a provident act.

Great ride Alan though I am not convinced by the relaxed claim. Now it was completely my fault for not viewing the route profile. Given a sluggish ride into Northfield, at the time it seemed more sensible to not join the A group and opt for an easier B ride. However, I am glad that I never viewed the route profile before leaving as I would never have swapped. It was a great ride along an ingenious route that appeared to include every vicious hill possible starting with London Lane, Tardebigge; Pig Hill; Jennings Wood Bank out of Dunley followed by the scary descent and re-ascent out of Ribbesford Ford. The slightly later arrival at Bewdley meant that the cafe was not too busy. Good company on route too!AlanW wrote: ↑17 Nov 2017 13:14l'll do a steady and relaxed B run to the railway carriage @ Bewdley

I thought it was just myself and the Dark Lord Whiteman that threw in evil hills on a club ride! Who knew Alan also had a dark side?
Phil here is a picture of my tea arriving!!WorcsPhil wrote: ↑19 Nov 2017 15:14We tried a new cafe in Mickleton (Decades), but although the cafe was nice, the food and drink pretty good, they struggled to cope with 11 cyclists, and their ‘make one meal at a time’ approach meant a wait of an hour...worth re-trying if there’s 6 or fewer riders.
