South Birmingham and Black Country Social Ride

[BrumJim]

Anyone up for this weekend? Long while since I last went out for a decent ride. Getting withdrawal symptoms.

I'm rather hoping I'll be in Cardiff by that time on Saturday. This seems to be turning into the "Birmingham and Black Country Excuse Thread"!

With the arrival of warm, long summer evenings (well, you can but hope, can't you?) how about an evening ride instead?

 

[Downward]

Yeah an evening ride sounds cool - Tied up this and next saturday

 

[BrumJim]

On holiday soon, so not free until June, but would look forward to one then.

 

[Downward]

Yeah weather is rubbish lately, Hopefully the wind will die down and the sun will start to shine on the weekends

 

[BrumJim]

Free next weekend, if anyone else is? Weather during the week looks a little dodgy until Friday.
That is 4th June.

 

[Downward]

Looks nice Saturday yeah.
Saw Andrew Monday going into the Uni,

 

[BrumJim]

OK, I'm on.

For anybody that hasn't been with us yet, and fancies joining the fun, the start point is here at 8:30.


We'll be doing around 25 miles, usually averaging around 14 mile/h (or a bit less), but will wait for slower people if required. We never leave anyone behind. Plenty of hills, but all on tarmac so Road Bike or road-orientated hybrid is recommended.


Oh, and User will be along soon to give his apologies......

All being well I'll be there, haven't been riding the last 3 weekends, been exercising my drinking arm more lately, so this could be painfull lol.

It's my eldest's 18th birthday that day. I'll go if I can but chances are I wont be able to.

 

[BrumJim]

Bring him with you? We'll stop by at a pub and get him drunk.

Seriously, would understand. Doesn't get much bigger than a son's 18th. Although my Mum has chosen to be away for my 40th this year!

I do a 40 miler to Malvern for Sunday lunch with the mother in law occasionally. He announced he wanted to come with me last time. MTB with front susp and knobbly tires. He could barely stand up when we got there

 

[mumbo jumbo]

Soz. I'm a no show.

 

[Downward]

I'll be there

 

[BrumJim]

Brilliant. Up for setting a route, or shall we just turn up and go?
