well il be at lickeys on me DH bike at the top part ( thats above the golf course side )for couple hrs in the woods as there some training for me in the trees, steep descents etc, ill also be on the other side some point where the visitor center is at Lickeys.
ill be setting off at around 3pm takes me now 30 mins or so to get ther as cant ride me bike up lol have to push.
I usually go at around 5pm ish and stay to 8pm, but like say off this afternoon now.
Im on a Black Cove, whats your bike skills like how confident are yer with your bike.

Turrican

Ah ur a lady cool how ever i think my GF would get bit upset if went out for a ride with another female, unless was some other guys too and sorry ment no offence by way she is 20 week pregnant too so i have to to be fair on her. I would feel guilty too hehe.
What is your current skill in biking any way did yer say your new to biking?. io have been out with people at Wyre forest but not for some time now its good too.
Im more into Dh than trails but do like trails as keeping fit well have to pushing my Dh bike as its a tank hehe.

I think the 'steep decents' maybe abit beyond me at the mo. I'm very much a novice, done some single track stuff in the wye, ftd at cannock. Easy stuff. Occas cycly up to the lickies, but usually knackered by the time i get there lol, so do a loop the head hm, walk the dog there alot but where i walk i'd not get up it on my bike - yet!!!!! If u're ok with this i can meet u on the visitors side, u tell me a time? I'm on a red&white schwinn.

Still cleaning my motor bike din't realise it was quite so grubby!!!!!!!!!!

monsterziggy

Sorry just saw u're other post, fair enough, my other half is at work (most weekends - hence trying to find some buddies to ride with) Have fun.

monsterziggy

monsterziggy

We both would like me to be fitter, he is stupid fit, part of his job, i always struggle to keep up. I like makin new friends, learn new stuff, climbin/bikin/boardin friends are fab!!!!!!!

Turrican

Turrican

monsterziggy

Must have missed u, went round a few times, was good to get out, glad i'm fitter than i was a few months ago, went up all my usual hills a tad easier than normal, though definatly room for tons more improvment. Cut a few corners down hill to do a very small bit of slightly steeper stuff, ate lots of midgies & got a number in my eye - fab!!!! When u goin again, lol.

silent.shadow

hi im goin for a ride sunday morning about 9:30-10;00 doin a 10 mile circuit with small amount of road, some toe path on the canel and finishing around the lickeys, any body intrested, slowest persons pace.

monsterziggy

silent.shadow

it might be best to meet at the visitors centre at 10am at the front of the shop, is that ok for every one? it will mean we have a bit of road to start, i will try and keep road riding to a minimum
