Mastershredder and I were chatting last night about how many rides there's been lately now it's getting warmer and lighter, and also how this year the scene here seems more cohesive.
We've got the Double Denim Ride, Food Ride and the short countryside social rides (Rollercoaster & Wednesday Wake-Ups). Other possibilities are a variation on the Food Ride to take it out to the countryside, the Sutton Park ride, the BMX track ride and some other stuff I can't remember now it's morning.
So, this thread is for new ride ideas and comments on how to improve the social ride scene here in B'ham, hopefully we can end up having a ride for every type of rider here in B'ham, we definitely have enough interested people right now.
I'm interested in social rides, day or night, about 10 - 20 miles at a pace that doesn't put anyone off and with any amount of stops for chatting etc.
I like the really short rides for a specific event, like a 3 - 4 mile trip like the Food Ride.
Also, if there's enough interest I'd be up for a couple of longer rides (Stratford or Leicester and back, or catch a train to somewhere 50 miles away) during the summer, maybe make it into a picnic ride.
I guess once an idea has some interest it will get it's own thread but feel free to list destinations, routes, wishes etc here first.
