Wyre Forest:regular sunday morning ride(&weekday nights)

Two wheels after service is good, there have been issues with loose wheel builds but my mate had one recently and it was much better.
They do have one downside and that is selling what they personally like and try to switch you to their products, i.e the black spokes. They reckon they are weaker due to the black coating which is a load of old boll**ks. They also sold my mates parents (as a xmas present) a 2 litre camelback inner (when they asked for a 3) as they said a 3 litre would be too big, and we have used 3 litre ones for 10 years, perfect size for us.
I have always had this issue, when you go in know what you want and stick to your guns otherwise you'll be going back to change it after they sell you something different.
Im off up clent again this thursday if anyone up for that, 7pm normal place!0 -
I cant ride this Thursday.
I can do a Wednesday night ride if anyone is interested ?
Cheers for all the info on 2 wheels, I will go and pay them a visit shortly as I am on the market for a new bike ;-)0 -
The only LBS I'd recommend in this area is Worcester Specialist Cycles, Stuart and Erica I think it is, loads of mates have used them no hassle.
Have not been in there for a while, but it always appeared to be changing owners etc, could be wrong ??0 -
Since I've been riding it was owned by the old bloke, and nearing 3years ago the 2 that worked there bought him out, I think they are staying.0

Anyone out for the Weds night ride tonight ?
Cheers Dylan, got in touch with Worcs Cyles yesterday, going in to see them and have a look at some bikes :-)0 -

Im out for a ride but supposed to be starting from wordsley and heading out towards kinver with a mate who lives local to me you'r welcome to join us. Meeting at the lawnswood pub 6.150 -
Beermosta,
Thanks, most Weds are fine, but tonight I wont be back home until turned 6is and I wont have enough time to get gear ready and get over to Kinver, so I might just end up doing a solo night ride in the wyre....if I'm not too scared ! ;-)0 -
Just don't mention me, 2 of the people I've passed them caused them nothing but trouble they'll run away screaming
Only Spesh's, Trek's and Marins though sadly, so only Spesh's wouldn't touch Trek's or Marin's personally.
Ohh and Santa's and the odd other bit of bling!!
Anyone riding thursday ?? dunno what's going on yet here, bikes still poorly but useable
My car got smashed up aswell, 2 windows and both headlights arrsssee!! bloody piss heads!! 0 -

only did about 90 mins, was four of us though, conditions were pretty good too, bike was only a bit more muddy at the end than the start of the ride.

Mounty
Do you fancy meeting up with mike arms 10am start he has a thread on wmmtb he knows wyre well so may find some new trails

Was in there tonight BeerMonsta, VERY deep horrible patches of sticky mud that are pretty much unrideable unfortunately, must of had some hard rain there today or something

Thats the problem with the wyre one of my favorite places to ride when the conditions are good but it suffers horribly with the mud0 -
Even the upper bits where horrible sadly.
Still good fun though, my I-drive Link botch worked well with 50psi extra in the shock, felt normal so I'll keep riding.0 -

Last week the Wyre was great, fairly dry trails, even a little dusty in some places...
Took Eddy around last Sunday and the conditions were pretty good...
There was a fair bit of rain early/mid week and its back to the brown stuff ! The conditions were not great yesterday either...but not as bad as it was on the previous Weds night ride ;-)
Yes I will be out in the morning, although not sure what kind of shape I will be in as I am doing a house removal today, then a few beers and curry at the end of it.... :-)
10am @ VC/pub car park ?0 -
Yes mate 10 on the duke car park0

No problem mate, I will meet up with you at some point in the Wyre. I will be in there from 9.30 onwards. I will drop you a text and sort out a place to meet up.0 -
Ok Mate Great fingers crossed the rain stays away0
-
I think there is heavy rain forecast for late tonight, so expect the worst ! :shock:
Dylan,
I will be out in the wyre in the morning if you are able to make it ?0 -
Sorry, had to lend whats left of my car to a mate not going to ride there then do a ride, I'm not that fit.
Give me a ring 10ish if you want to come pick me up though
I'll do a long ish ride from here 1ish till 6ish all being well though.
Heavy rain is good, wet mud is better than sticky bike stopping mud.0 -
Sorry mate, only just read your post, I could have picked you up no problem....Give me a ring 10ish if you want to come pick me up though
Just got back from what started out as a dry(ish) ride then turned into a mud fest... :shock:
Going to start and ride other places again, getting a little hacked off with all the mud... :evil:0 -
I figured that don't worry.
I got the bike all fixed up got ready, took 1 step outside in a hail storm and thought NAAAHHHHH, went to the gym instead LOL
Clent is better when it's muddy, Malverns better still but a drag to get there.0 -
Trying to Ride Thursday, Wind looks okay but we'll see, anyone around ??
Clent or Wyre realistically!!0
