Group Ride Saturday 22nd June 2024
Group ride with Alec Gore to the Morgan Factory.
11 riders made an early start from Winnall on Saturday for Alec's ride to the Morgan Factory at
Great Malvern and another one met us at the factory.
Everyone on the ride had paid for the Morgan Experience group tour of the factory. We were
fortunate in our guide, Kevin, who clearly loved his time working there and enthusiastically and
knowledgeably shared a great deal of knowledge with us as we progressed over nearly two hours
through the various stages of the production of these uniquely British hand-built cars.
The route included some excellent B roads after Gloucester and a few twisty lanes. The return route skirted Worcester, then went through Pershore, Evesham, Stow-on-the-Wold, Burford, Lechlade, Faringdon and Wantage, finishing at Tothill, near Newbury. 211 miles, not including rider mileage to the start and home.
After a drizzly start, the day turned out to be warm and sunny.
Thanks to Kev Coleman for riding tail on the way up and to Robert Ashworth on the way back.
