West Midlands riders say hello

[NeilM]

Probably a bit more senior than most on this site-

Don't worry about your age Rob, some of us bring our grown up children with us to rides, although there is nothing that reminds you of your age quite like seeing your progeny disappearing up a hill and making it look like nothing... ohh the shame of it

The Aende sounds interesting too, they have a bit of a following in the Retro Road section.

Hope to meet you on a ride soon.

Neil

Hello Matt,

Keep your eyes peeled on the local events calender and the National one.

Do you ride mtb or Road?

There is a couple of local-ish road rides in the next 3-4 months

Long Mynd is hosting a national ride next month and there is a ride down at the Forest of Dean in May

Keep your eyes peeled and come along

Dave

Hi i'm Owen, born '71, been cycling off and on since childhood. Mostly road in the '80s, mountain in the '90s, then a 10 year gap, now back into it and liking both road and mountain. I live in Malaysia but my parents are in Shropshire and i visit them a couple of times each year.
I will be in Bridgnorth this coming Dec 8th to 20th and would be keen to meet up for a ride and social chinwag if anyone's around? I'd be up for road or mountain. Of the four bikes in my sig below only the road bike is in UK so for a mountain ride i'd need a bike - i don't mind buying a clunker off ebay if that what it takes. I have a car and can transport a bike to any starting point. If any chance that would be great, regards, Owen.
If anyone comes over to KL, i know plenty of good roads and trails and may be able to hook you up with a bike.
