South Birmingham and Black Country Social Ride

[BrumJim]

Might be tempted. Unless I'm going down to London. There's a good few weekends in May that I won't be able to get out on.

 

[Downward]

Me 3 not sure yet what the plans are tomorrow. I think though I may just have a quick spin up and over clent way and back down the other side so don't think i'll be doing a full 20 mile plus ride.

 

[Downward]

Did a quick pootle up Hagley Wood Lane and down Ufmoor Lane from home. It's only 7 miles door to door so only took about 30 mins, 9 of those were getting up HW Lane which I did without stopping but jeez had to get out the saddle from about 3/4 of the war up and at the top it was like 3mph climbing.

 

[BrumJim]

OK, early call for 24th April? (Next Saturday).

Weather looks steady, so should still be sunny, dry but cool. Will have to look out for volcanic ash clouds if we decide to ascend Romsley again, but legs are looking for another work-out.

 

[Downward]

Hopefully I should be fine this weekend.

 

[Wobblers]

Yes, if I'm finally free of this sodding cold I've had all week. Only been on the bike once this week (and regretted it!) so I'm not looking to be putting the hammer down. There's supposed to be a bike jumble in Kidderminster on Saturday - I'd quite like to have a browse around afterwards.

I've got my 2 bikes at Work as well as my car !
Gonna have to ride back on the hyrbrid then get a lift up to get my car and road bike so If I am coming tmoz it'll be on the hybrid which means I will be even slower.

 

[Downward]

I've got to pick up a fridge in the morning (!). Otherwise...

Go onnnnnn, Seriously I am on a Hybrid, Mcwobble may be on his folding bike again and is poorly so it's going to be an easy stretch your legs ride

 

[BrumJim]

OK, McWobble - I think it is your time to devise the route.

Same starting point and time?

 

[Downward]

Ok well not sure where Jim is or Paul so not sure what's going on yet.

I shall be on later tonight though

After the Farley Lane "Wrong Turn" too

Errr, okay. Did I mention my usual navigation technique is to take random turnings until I'm thoroughly lost?

After the Farley Lane "Wrong Turn" too

That was purely an accident! I thought you were saying "straight on" rather than "Don't go straight on"!

I think I'll be all right for tomorrow though it felt doubtful this morning. I've got your mobile, Downward, so I'll text you in the morning if I don't feel up to it. Otherwise, yes, same time, same place.
