Yep, we can recce the TT courses, we can do the major parts of both the Pearl Lane and Great Witley courses on the same ride. If we get time I would like a hit at Clifton Bank. I have got to be back by 12:00.
As we'll be heading through Worcester we can meet close to junction 7 somewhere then carry on out towards Hallow and Holt Heath.

Yep, the B4204 from Martley to Clifton upon Teme. It drops down to the bridge, then it's an 8 minute climb to the 30 limit at the top.

I don't think I have tried to up that one at pace... must try it sometime. Its a steady climb, been down it twice at pace on the Beacon hilly two years ago, it was an altered course due to roadworks on Ankerdine hill !

Sunday morning is a tour of the Great Witley TT course and of course a nice hill Paul wants to head up. Meeting a the carpet place at 0900. Andy P, do you want us to pick you up around the Ambulance station at about 0910-0915 or you heading to the carpet place?
I think Lucy is heading out with us and looking to do 20 to 30 miles so she will turn around once over the other side of Worcester most likely.

I'll aim to see you at the carpet place at 0900. If I happen to run late then I won't sweat it and I'll see you somewhere between there and the Oak Apple pub at the top of London Road.
I have a sneaky feeling that London road may be closed again. It has been the last two Sundays. We should be able to sneak through though on 2 wheels.

Super ride today chaps, nice route and Clifton Bank was a very steady ride up for me. Not really any excuses all round I think, so good sprints. I did enjoy the one Paul coming back to Henwick road where I led you out and kept the front wheel level with you. I'm glad Dave made you work for the Clifton Bank sprint, well done Dave! good ride out Jason, I can see you are going to be a handful in a few weeks time Great weekend riding, clocked up 172 miles on Sat & Sun. We got Lucy out for 30 miles on the club run as well which is great for her. Thanks for that chaps ;D See you all next week. Hope you enjoyed your Kitchen shopping this afternoon Paul, some suffering there £££ The Southern division is growing stronger every weekend.
