South Birmingham and Black Country Social Ride

Yeah me too.

Ah! A victim! The weather's looking okay-ish at the moment, though it might get a little chilly.

Bad form to reply to your own post and all that, but...

I went round Bellbroughton->Chaddesley Corbet->Holy Cross->Clent tonight with no unpleasant surprises or huge potholes and the weather forecast is now mild and overcast for Tuesday evening.

So... if anyone fancies a gentle pootle on Tuesday evening round Romlsey, Chaddesley Corbet and coming back via Clent let me know. The starting point will be the usual place, Grange Hill roundabout at 7:30 pm. It's about 15 miles or so but does have two substantial hills.

I'm not going to make it, snapped a spoke tonight, my bikes out of action til I can get a replacement spoke and nipple.

No worries. Sounds like the perfect excuse for n+1 to me!

I have to go up town tonight but would be interested some other time

 

[BrumJim]

Definitely not me either. Tried to ride into work this morning and gave up - chain too badly worn to pedal. Hopefully get it sorted tonight.

And I have to pick up a kid from Brownies. But did someone mention 26th March? That looks like a runner . . .

Hi Guys,
Sorry I wont be up for 26th march. I have been really ill over the xmas period culminating in what was a violent reaction to some medication (symptoms identical to a heart attack).
Im still not able to do much at the moment as I have problems breathing. I have tried going out on the MTB but 3 mile max and im suffering.
Seeing a specialist friday, so hopefully get some traction on this problem.

Yet another think wrong with me, im getting sick of being Sick..........

Just as well, really. I rather overdid it on Monday so it would have been a rather s-l-o-w ride to the nearest pub, I think!

Bloody hell, it hasn't been the best of years for you, has it? Hope you get things sorted out soon.

I'll be there for 26th, Not sure what shape but I'm going to try and do some Reps on Tuesday up and down my hill and hopefully go on a 25 miler Wednesday and try some more Hill reps Thursday to get my legs going again.

I had the weekend off cycling lol, I better put some miles in if we are all getting match fit lol. I don't think 6 hrs of drinking Guiness sat is good preperation.

 

[Downward]

Hmm yeah I'm going to have to spend a fair few hours gardening today over cycling.

 

[BrumJim]

Well, Saturday will be dull but dry (that's the weather, not me).

Route to be sorted out Friday afternoon.
Suggest either up Romsley (the Lifeson route), alternatively Egg Hill (Philk killer) if we are feeling fragile, or the early cut-off (McWobble big day detour) if feeling really chicken. Then Belbroughton, with thoughts of a Chaddesley Corbett furthest point, finishing up by heading up St Kenelm's Pass ready for a Bacon Buttie or worse.

In or out?
Expecting Downward, PJ79LIZARD, McWobble, User and Mumbo Jumbo. No positive responses elsewhere yet.

 

[PJ79LIZARD]

I'll be there! Same meeting point, half eight sat morn?
