Birmingham Bike Polo Chat & BS Thread

I'm up for it.

Actually, scratch that, working on the Saturday...

Any birmingham teams need a 3rd player for Bristol?

I hear Dan's on the market.

Probably doesn't like your stance on Double Goalies though.

Some may call him a dreamer...

Does anyone have a set of knee & elbow guards that I could borrow or buy from friday?

Looking tidy now. new hidden dropout adjusters drilled and tapped, so no more slack chain.

might swap the front (1.4) and back (1.5) tyres to see if i can take another link out of the chain.

Hyper just quoted this in the london forum:

I also see a problem with the habit of reaching across the steering-arm side of the ball-possessors bike, either at bar or wheel height. I* was wheel hooked about 3 times in a single game (and bar hooked once), all accidental (I assume so, the people who did it are lovely pals of mine!) *none were called. Not to mention the many times where my front wheel was hit by a mallet, if not actually caught, as a player tried to reach around from the front of my bike.

(*my italics) *I wonder if that struck a chord for a reason...?

You don't have any lovely pals?

Anyone mind if I'm city rep for the euro hardcourt association? Forgot to bring it up on sunday.

nope

Reminds me of someone...

Trying to figure out if we can fit Lucas' goals into the car when we go to Bristol. Am I right in that this is who is going:

Neil
Chris
Kat (no bike)
Vicky
Fin
Claire (no bike)
Me

I'm assuming Neil can take 4-5 people in his car, along with three bikes.

That leave 2-3 people in my car, and two bikes.

I reckon there won't be enough room, unless someone can lend me a bike rack - mine has broken and I don't reckon I can get 2 people, 2 bikes, and the goals in my car...

Lucas has offered up his rack, so we're all cool.

I reckon I can take two people and three bikes (might need Neil to carry one of the goals).

Cheers guys.

Are there any free-agents from Birmingham going to Bristol? Our third player has flounced at the last minute. You would be playing with me and a reasonably new guy, so we will be having a laugh, not taking it too seriously.

Yeah Stu was interested in going to Bristol but didn't sign up in time, would be up for joining your team!

Now definitely going down to Bristol, is there any space left in one of the cars? Cheers

I think if Dan's rack can fit three bikes he might be able to oblige - i assume i'll take all the Stirchleyites and Dan can do Kings Heath and Moseley?

Watch out - Monty doesn't pay for petrol. #Cambridge2012 #whydidasimleave?

So that means Vicky and Monty with me?

Monty has a reputation - CASH UPFRONT, £10 please... If I have to ask twice, price rises to £15. £1 penalty for each hour thereafter. #don'tmakemeleaveyouinbristol

So that means Vicky and Monty with me?

yeah that makes sense i think, then no one has to cycle uphill to get anywhere.
