Well, how about we do something on the third friday of every month, so it's CM on the first Friday and then this on the third. After thinking about it more, I agree with mastershredder, having more of a proper organised event first would be much better. It's just a matter of working out what to do. Races, alleycats, joustingskid/trackstand competitions, tricks all spring to mind.
yeah i was also thinking of non-track/fixed gear specific things like, (getting a bit creative but..):
-a masks ride
-north bham ride
-west, east and south rides too
-playing tig (tag) on bikes (can think up the rules later)
-ride to the lickeys/sutton park
-put names of birmingham areas in a hat and pick them out to make up the route.
-if someone had a projector, someone else bring speakers, someone else a charged laptop etc, could find a spot/wall to show some short bike films
all of these could end in the pub or whatever else. i dont know, these are just some ideas to explore parts of the city one would never usually ride in, meet new people, make every night unique.
I know its winter (I haven't rode as much as I've wanted to either) but i dont think just because the weather is good that everyone will magically come out. people have other commitments too. don't wanna seem like i'm critising, just being real.
