cool flyer. glory is the best prize of all. where is this? Birmingham?

ok, mr potato head

Any details about the Polo tourney ?

Can London teams enter ?

OI,
Yeah it's in birmingham. Open to everyone [inc. gears].
Not going to be a massive thing (unless there's loads of interest in which case i'll expand the events).
I'm hoping to get lots of birmz/west mids people together and meet with equal amount of hanging out, drinking and riding.

Bike polo - Throw in tourney. London more than welcome [to own us]
We don't have many decent courts - that are regularly free - but I do have a location that might be awesome which i'll reconnoitre properly soon.

More details on each events to follow...

can there be LOTS of polo?

Corrected

I'm hoping to get lots of birmz/west mids people together and meet with hanging out, drinking and riding at a ratio of about 2:7:1

My BB shots are getting better and better and I will not be too fucked to play this time.
Also, can we go for an optional kitty - i.e. people put a quid in and winner takes all?
I just love the thrill of losing money.

+1 for lots of polo

yo toomuchmuslimgod

im gonna fuckin win this, mark my words

itinerary up now

Surely the gears are gonna have a huge advantage on all the racing?

If I can get a fixed by then I may pop along to this, although getting a non-hilly route from redditch may be a slight problem :S

all bike types welcome...

Ahah forgot that, if I can get a pss out from the parents I will try and get there!

im down for some of this,
no track stand competiton?

We can have a trackstand comp no problem.
Just wanted the emphasis to be on riding as opposed to fixed.

Looks great. I'm in. Never played polo before so I might sit that bit out if it gets serious!

gutted - i'll be working during the polo. any chance of a few games later on?

are there going to be any gurlz* there? I am going to ask some female rider friends in the hope they don't say 'i'm not coming cuz i don't wanna be the only girl there' (like they've done in the past).

*Don't worry, I'm not a pervert...

Good plan - def need to get more women involved. I will definitely go if I'm in brum that weekend, but not sure if I will be at the moment......which probably isn't very helpful - sorry!

I spoke briefly with a lady with a lovely mustard yellow bike with a massive chainring earlier at Ideal. She said she was coming. Totally forgot her name!

Safe all, it's only taken me a year to get round to posting here. Long time listener first time caller etc......
Really looking forward to this business, hopefully bring a couple of Wolvo cats along for the ride, and try and get some Landoners up too.
I came to Helloween on my chrome pista last year and had a blast so respecagnise to anyone who I met at that.
See you all in July for a good old shred through the traffic.
HOLLA!

Guys I'm out off down south to to the Dunwich Dynamo.

Have fun.

no, YOU have fun. you riding your brooklyn? 120 miles on fixed... at night. fuck. you;re a hardman

People still up for this even if the weather is shit?
Let me know. Cheers
