4 January 2010 - Rowington in the frost


Captain of the day: 
Harry Willshaw

Meeting place:  RLE

Weather:  Heavy frost

Mileage:

Route: See description

Bicycles/Riders: 5

Coffee/11s stop: Winged Spur, Ullenhall

Lunch stop: Rowington

Afternoon/3s stop: Chez Harry

Landscape:  Warwickshire in white

Drama: Ice riding demonstration from the Desert Rat

Anything else: 

This was to be the first ride of the New Year, but the hardy 5 who gathered at the Red Lion questioned both the viability of the ride and their own sanity. However, with enough riders to make a quorum and especially since one was a new recruit, Caroline, we decided to tackle  the day sticking to more major roads where possible. In retrospect this was an excellent decision since later in the week the weather deteriorated and as I write this cycling looks to be unlikely until  the 2nd or even 3rd week of the New Year.

2 September 2009 - Long Itchington


Captain(s) of the day: 
John Bennett

Meeting place: Earlswood

Weather: Unpleasant

Mileage: about 40

Route:  Well, not so much a route as an ad hoc variation as the group put pressure on the Captain to return home before the predicted storm arrived - variously forecast to occur from 1400 - 1600.

9 August 2009 : Alveley Country Park


Captains of the day: Both Porters

Meeting place: Waseley

Weather: Brilliant

Mileage: ~ 55

Route: Heaven knows - apart from Kinver we hardly saw any villages. The minor roads seemed to pass through empty countryside even though we skirted Wolverhampton and Dudley. We visited 4 counties and a ferry - a blockbuster of a ride with Oscar starring performances from John & Hillary (who needs Hugh Grant?)
