Thursday ride,
I can sort my day out so anytime really, If we do 4 or 4.30 we'll be back before needing lights.
Anyone else want to ride wyre forest Thursday????????????????????????????????0 -
Haven't sorted any route out yet...but was thinking about some trail centres in North Wales also would like to do Mortimer forest in Ludlow but would need somebody to guild me...And have just looked at Lee Quarry and that also looks interesting!
Will let you know when i have a bit more of a plan
Can't do the Wyre this week but anyone fancy Clent on Friday?Biking whore of Wyre....rides with anyone!0 -
Trail centre really, thought you'd just stick to local stuff but yeah maybe.
Lee Quarry is a long haul 120miles with the M6 being in the state it's in just for 1 day.
Helping with a house move Friday so can't sorry

The girlies will be out on Wednesday 24th March for a night ride. Being girlies though we need time to adjust our lycra and put some slap on, so is there any chance we can make it a 7:30pm start on this occasion :oops:0

MP, could I come if I wear a short skirt and make up
Saying that the Knitting discussion on a SheCycles Reccy ride on the weekend nearly had me topping myself so maybe not!! 0 -
Sarah,
11 Should be ok, got my son's school assembly to attend first over @ Rubery, but should be ready @ Clent for 11.

Wednesday night ride starting 24th March
Muddypuddle has set the time so 730 it is at the vc
Come on then lets see how many we can get out
At the moment you don't need muds on it's pretty dry.
Oh and Turvey if you want to come it's a 4pm start you maybe on time then.
Just in case you thought about fixing your bike before you get their that might be good
:twisted:0 -
Finally got my login to work - apparently I am illegal... :shock:
I am Muddy's mate and want to come out for night rides but as I work in B'ham centre and don't get home until 6pm earliest I need a later start!
I don't plan on coming every week as it's a rush for me and I don't want to put people out if they want to get going earlier.
Am up for the 24th though
Assume the meet point is the vc by Bewdley?0 -
I have been out of it for a while due to bike problems and commitments with the Digging over ribbesford, as both Sarah P and Graham can confirm.
However
Night ride this week from the Duke, thursday 7:30pm, expected duration 2 hours.
Did clent last night, Tuesday and it was dry and fast, we even had the wind behind us going up the hill.
I'll be doing Thursday weekly now if anyone wants to Join me! Got 2 spare sets of light, 1 if Debbie comes for anyone that wants to try it out first.
Moggy0 -
Andy - are you still free this Thursday ? It looks like I will be around afterall, bloody client messing me about!
If so I would be free 1.30pm onwards. I have sent you my mobile number.
I will have to see if my old lights are working for the Wed 24th ride. :-)0 -
Can't do this week sorry... other plans 0
-
Would anyone be interested in doing the Coast to Coast ? :shock:
C2C approx 150 miles over 3/4 days....MTB of course...
I really want to squeeze this trip in at some point....I just dont relish the thought of doing it on my own?0 -
Mounty
Sorry mate as you said you couldn't do Thursday i've made other plans
Andy0 -
Andy, no worries mate.
I know it was a bit short notice but I thought I would check as I will be riding in the afternoon....0 -
Sassy - you'll be fine - take a rope. Mick can tow you up the hills whilst you practice spinning and he practices peddle mashing
Missgroover - yep, the meeting point is VC as you know it. You can park in the Duke William car park or in the layby off the main road about 400m before the pub.
Mounty - you trying to kill us all - 150 miles in 3/4 days? :shock:
All - riding Hopton Woods and Bucknell on 2nd April at 10:30 is anyone wants to join in. Thinking of an all day Rhayader ride on Easter Sunday - anyone up for this?0 -
2nd April, yes count me in...not sure about Easter Sunday, but I will know for sure nearer the time...
....and what doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger! ;-)0 -
Organising a trip over Easter, Going to be in a Caravan just up the road from CYB over the long easter weekend, riding CYB, Macynlleth, Marin and Nant yr Arian on Way Home.
If anyone is interested in Joining us for just a ride upto the entire trip, let me know.

word to your mothers,
sorry to butt in, just wondering if anyone can give me directions to the bits worth finding in the wyre. a friend and i spent saturday and tuesday pootling around in there without having a great deal of luck. ventured over to the kinlet north mtb place on tues, but only found a couple of tracks (and enough mud to have me sink to the knees). on the way up from the bridge over the creek to the road before kinlet it looked like there were a lot of tracks coming out of the woods on the right hand side, am i right in thinking this is the place to go hunting?
cheers for any help,

Ahhhh you actually meet at the VC and don't wait around the pub car park, that explains how I missed you on the last ride.
Mick, Sassy isn't that bad, well about my speed so you've got something to judge it on.0 -

TBH you need to be guided, you spend most of the ride trying to follow directions and instructions. Most of the good tracks are in the Far bit of the Main forest, once you have crossed over one of the bridges! Most of them start in strange places TBH, you need to know where your going, its even harder to string them all together for a ride, me mounty and the others almost have a set few routes, but know it well enough to improvise.
Mounty it appears Sarah forgot to show you the Best Trail over Clent the other Day, she knows where it is now for next time!0 -
spud-face -
What Moggy said really....you can spend all day riding and not find much....myself or someone else on here would be more than happy to give you a guided tour....I am around all week here and there.....let me know :-)
Moggy -
Sounds good, I was hoping to do Clent this week, but work has got in the way :-) I shall be riding a quick one around the Wyre Friday afternoon....anyone ?
Turveyd38 -
You mean to say after all the years I have known you....you have been turning up at the VC?!....well now the cat is out of the bag.....you cant use that excuse anymore! lol ;-)0 -
