Birmingham Half Marathon Ride

you weren't there... i uhmed and aaahed and managed to meet up at cannon hill park. excellent little ride around the ugly and pretty parts of suburban birmingham. a few moans and shouts from the marshalls but nobody actually gave chase... the council should have organised a time-trial before the joggers got up. time trialists love early mornings.

I WAS THERE! Wait... oh it was a dream.

Ahh man, I was running a wedding for the past two days. I somehow expected to be able to get up and go, but instead im up at 12pm with incredible shoulder soreness from carrying stuff.

'running a wedding'!?

yeah it's a marriage race

Thanks for the ride guys !!

Next time ill make sure that i am not hung over for the start ^^
see you soon again

Thanks to everyone who came out, It was a grand experience.
No doubt we'll do it next year and if you can't wait a full year there's always the (full) london marathon that our brethren have ridden.

How many turned up?

about 8 people, good laugh even if migi had to suffer!

Have I met migi? Is he German and came to critical mass on a BMX one time?

no, believe it or not there is yet another german in the area, he´s from leicester.

ah man this was yesterday?! i thought it was a few weeks ago or something... gutted i missed this!

no, believe it or not there is yet another german in the area, he´s from leicester.

24th October 2010!

Anyone thinking of doing this again? Did it on foot last year and figure it will be easier on a bike this year.

Any takers?

I hope to have a bike sorted by then, if so i'm definately down for it. If not i'll just struggle on my polo bike.

No luck finding it yet, rubbish!

I have no doubt Dan will be up on here shortly suggesting we all do it on our polo bikes!

im deffo down, last years one was wicked!

Early doors?

i think itl be another 6am starter, or maybe earlier due to us doing it lastyear aha

7am is fine, going on last years ride.
Might not be able to make it as im at a festival all weekend (in brum tho), but am open to offers of amphetamines and blood doping.

its a shame that the city don't let you enter it as a ride like they do up in wolverhampton for the half marathon there.
