    It's time to arrange a day of group muni, and to coax out all the
    local-ish (UK - Midlands) riders.

    Who's interested in coming along?

    On Saturday 29th Way at the Wyre Forest, nr Kidderminster. Meeting up at
    the visitor centre at, say, 10 am for a day of riding, pub visiting and
    general larking about.

    There's everything from a wheelchair friendly trail to steeps you can
    barely walk down. Distance / level of difficulty / no. of 'rides' to be
    decided based on who's interested and what they want.

    There will be a family friendly ride, maybe with extra loops off around
    the more demanding bits of singletrack for those who want (or need!)
    it.

    Shout up if you're interested 🙂

    I was just about to throw my hand in the air when I realised that is the
    weekend I get back from holiday so I doubt I'll be back by then. I've
    mountain b*ked around there and it is pretty good riding

    enjoy

    How far is Kidderminster from Leicester? If it's easily accessible by
    train I'm interested! Is it muni muni or 29er suited?

    "How far is Kidderminster from Leicester? If it's easily accessible by
    train I'm interested! Is it muni muni or 29er suited?"

    A 6.45 train from Leicester gets to Kidderminster at 9.30, according to
    the rail networks website.It shouldn't be a problem getting you picked
    up from the station. Should be fine on either muni or 29, weather
    depending a slick tyre may be a bit of a handicap.

    I've only got a 20" trials apart fom my muni, but one of the others
    should be able to bring something more suitable along. I'll ask
    around...

    Sounds cool, but where is Kidderminster? How far do you reckon it is
    from Glasgow?

    I can probably afford the train fare but I won't be able to afford
    accomodation so if someone can give me a floor/couch to crash on I'll
    come down for it.

    Kidderminster is 20 miles south west of Birmingham, it's where BUC /
    unimeets were last year. It's got to be at least 250 miles from Glasgow.
    If you're keen to come you can doss on our sofa.

    Cheers, man. Thats totally decent of you, but after I posted that post I
    went to the train time website and it'll take 7 hours to get there so
    I'll leave it for this time. Next time tho!

    Thanks again for your offer of the couch!.

    Put me down as a maybe. If I do make it, I can bring a 24 with some
    limited off road capability as a spare.

    Any chance of this being repeated at a later date? It sounds fun, and
    it'd be convenient, but I have prior engagements.

    This muni day is the result of myself and Steve thinking it would be fun
    to see how many others we can get to come riding with us. Judging from
    responses thus far, either the 3 weeks notice is a bit short, or the
    bank holiday weekend is a bit inconvenient. Not to worry, should be fun
    for those that can make it.
    Perhaps I'll try a Sunday for the next one, say mid-July (if the redbull
    is not fatal!)..?

    Maybe it's because you're a "borderline sociopath". ;-)

    I'd usually be up for a muni ride but weekends aren't good for me at the
    moment.

    It looks to be 7 or 8 so far, including kids. I expect it to be
    'recreational' rather than 'flat out'.
    My mob. is 07980921727 if anyone needs it. I'll be there at 10am or
    thereabouts, and I'll have a spare 20" trials with me.

    How did it go? I really wanted to make it, but circumstances (work)
    wouldn't allow. Is there likely to be a repeat maybe over summer or even
    earlier?
