    Hi all, i have been off a mountain bike for about 10 yrs, and a few days ago inherited a Trek 800 due to a friend upgrading to a Kona FM. Now i have ridden around these parts before but it is always good to ride with others. If the weather holds we will probably be up the Lickys tomorrow morning (21st) about 9am-ish!! Now i used to race MTB's and used to have the Mad Skillz!! So i am curious to see if i still got it. I have been riding a road bike for a few months and completed a couple of sportives last year. If anyone is about tomorrow maybe we will bump into you, not literally i hope!

    Hiya Ziggy,
    Work shifts so normally good for 4 days @ a time. with tonight being the last night shift. However off to Coedy on friday for the weekend with the 'Clent duffers' for a 40th birthday piss up, so my darling missus has banned me from riding Wed and Thursday nights, (some guff about quality time with her and the kids).
    I should be good for next week on the 9th and 10th , day or night..

    Wouldn't mind joining you guys if you're out and about any time soon.
    Not done any riding for a few years. Anyway I've just bought a shiny new frame I'd actually like to use it so was wondering if I could join you guys for a blast somewhere. I live near Selly Oak so I'm pretty local.

    Awesome! I've managed to get some time this weekend to get up to Cannock on Sunday for a blast around the "follow the dog trail". Weekends are generally pretty busy but week nights (Tuesday and Thursday) are generally good.
