Post by: orange on July 10, 2007, 06:58:42 pm

Post your locations here. After the successful US version, why not start a UK one?

I'll start - I'm in Derby.

It's always been mooted, perhaps we have the critical mass now? Let's see who else chips in.

Maybe we could piggyback one of the Retrobike meets or rides that they organise, i'm sure if we ask nicely they would let us play too.

South Northamptonshire, - a village between Northampton and Towcester.
(I used to be in Milton Keynes up to last week.)

and touching on other people's posts:
Luton before that. (escaped).
and I bought my first Marin from Batchelors bike shop in Warminster.

I cycle nearly every Thursday evening during the summer with a mob from Harlington, Beds, near J12 on the M1. (meet in the village hall carpark @7pm).

Hi guys.

I'm in Malvern, Worcestershire.  Ride most weekends and a mid week evening when work schedule allows.

Could plan ahead and do one of the rides in Wales in the Autumn?

Oversea on the Isle of Wight, great biking and a great place for a day trip (just pick a good day trip deal on the ferries!).

Hi chaps, A little of topic I know, but was it one of us between Bedgebury and Goudhurst the day the tour de France came through, they were on an 857 or an 856 with a kiddy tag on the back, we said hello but I didnt think to ask if he was a forum user.
Cheers, Tel.

Hey All. Steve, I'm based in Sutton Coldfield, near Birmingham. I'm up for a meet anywhere really. Good idea to organise it with the retrobike guys too.

I ride a lot round the Stirling area - mostly with the stirling bike club.  we have 100's of kms of trails here - some manufacturerd, some just normal evolutionary trails.  The government up here in scotland is great about mountain bikers and we can pretty much go anywhere.

I've also ridden a lot in and around london (where I used to live).

anyone doing the SSWC this year?  me and mike Hammer will be there.

Hi Guys,

I've not logged on lately - been too busy at work and travelling a lot.

I'm in Gosport, Hampshire - about the same height above sea level as Hayling and even closer as the crow flies to the Isle of Wight (just come back froma  very drunken Cowes week!).

I ride the South Downs from Wimchester to about Arundle - been to the French Alps twice this year and also regularly go off to South Wales trails.

GF lives in Glasgow but I don't get much opportunity to ride up there - am up this weekend but sailing/racing from Troon for the weekend.
