South Birmingham and Black Country Social Ride

[PJ79LIZARD]

I'll be up for a ride when your next out.

 

[BrumJim]

OK, lets set a date.

How about Saturday 26th March? Last day of winter, before the clocks go forward. Sounds like a good excuse for a ride?

Hi guys, I'm new here and from Birmingham too. Haha.
Can I join for a ride?

You'd be more than welcome: the more the merrier! We trend to go around 25-30 miles at 14-ish mph, but we won't leave anyone behind.

You need an excuse?

Anyone fancy an evening ride round Romsley/Chaddersley Corbet way next Tuesday? Good lights are a must but I've got a couple that I could lend out for those who haven't, erm, seen the light!


Oh, all right, I'll get me coat...

Now I have to decide whether to come out with you lot or go up Snowdon with some other friends.

OK, changed my mind. I'm joining you and your friends up Snowdon!

I'll probably be up for that as long as it's not hissing down!

Ok sounds good to me!

We'll be here. A route will be sorted out nearer to the time when we get an idea of who is coming.

Time and date are Saturday 26th March at 8:30. Bring yourself, your bike, some liquid and a few pennies for a bacon sandwich, if we take that route.

And p.m. me your mobile phone if you want to make sure that we don't leave without you.

Anyway, why are your front rings worn? I've driven my hybrid into the ground for 5 years and the front rings are fine.

Real problems with chain wear. I'm getting through chains faster than brakes, so must the something wrong with either my chain care regime or the chains that I am buying.

Is your chain line straight?

Anyway, I'm very tempted to miss Snowdon to come out with you lot, as long as you promise to be gentle. Do you ride over to Halesowen Jim or drive?

Generally ride. Its a nice 30 minute warm-up and not too hilly.

What are you doing to your poor bike, Jim?? You're not washing your chain with grinding paste, are you? What chain do you use?

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