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).
