Birmingham to Berlin

am interested in tagin along with yall on this! :D where do i sign up ? is there any entry fees D:?

Hi Jeet, no entry fee - we're raising money for Cancer Research though. There's no such thing as tagging along however, everyone is training really hard to do 900 miles in 11 days so get on it my friend! There is a meeting tomorrow night in The Spotted Dog in Digbeth after bike polo if you want to come along and introduce yourself.

Anyone doing this want a free pair of mudguards? Wide-ish hybrid ones, full length, but one's silver, one's black. May need to find some bolts to make them work.

PM me!

ill take them :P! cant PM you because im new :(

You're doing the ride? Do I know you?

yesh im doing the ride :3 ummm dont think you know me though :/ will be comming tomorrow night if you wana get to know me xP!

Mobi: 07832969530
Farcebook: Utsukushii Shouri

Can i get those Flight details too please bud! hmm i cant remember your name ... infact i dont remember anyones name! im not good with them :C

I'm Matt. Yeah sure ill send them over

Right. Good meetin last night peeps. Didnt get time to get the minutes up this morning, but the main points are. Everybody needs to be pulling their weight more with emails and blog updates. Email whoever u like, but focus on support n sponsors still atm rather than press.

Can everyone ava bash at a route, the next meeting will be at mine google maps and ed on skype, so wou/d be good to have some rough routes.

MG - can u push at rapha. And maybe send a follow up to brooks on my behalf? Check the sent mail.

Were gunna have a pre ride dig at the spotted dog (hopefully) maybe a sunday. Bbq raffle cake sal3, shave our heads/legs? Ha!

Neil shud now have flyers so we can get those out in bhm shops, ill knock up posters wen i get back.

Andy - can u knock up a basic xcel for sponsorship?

Jess can u show andy how to post on the site.

Filming when i get back.

We need an equipment list.

More training.

Cheers guys x

Can someone paste this to the facebook forum for ed n dyfan, and add steve/jeet to the facebook too..

I will love. Have a great holiday. I'm jealous :D

I'm thinking of having a yard sale next week to raise funds!

Sounds pretty epic so far!

Just a suggestion, check out RidewithGPS.com for mapping. Shows elevations and all sorts, and you can import GPX data when you get back if you want :)

Hey :D! i was just thinking we could have a ride to london since train tickets from London Marylebone to Brum are like 12pounds ~ returning anytime within one month :P if i take years to get there lol
Think it will be a good idea?

bhm to london date suggestions then?

and we may be riding out with the tour de blackett team in 9 days if people are up for it...

im up for that tour if i have enough funds ill find out if mom can help me out
im free next weekend :) and wednesday

We wont be going that far with them, their riding to London but we will probably do half.

thats kewl :3 still up for it
going for a quick ride right now n then get ready for trip to london 2moro

On their way..

Sponsorship forms you slackers

They're lovely Matt. Quite a lot of people asking from the flyers I put out (thanks Neil) at Custard Factory yest so let's keep getting it out there!

Sunday I'm cycling to Brighton with some forumengers from London for HatBeards birthday. Anyone is welcome to join! It will be a really good ride and everyone going is lovely.

Hiya guys - sorry to be all nervous-like but new forums, new peoples, all of that jazz.

I'm strongly considering taking part in this ginormous ride, but I need to know a little bit more about this daunting task (such as "Am I too fat?" XD) - when is the next meeting so I can meet some of you and find out more about the event? It's for a great cause and I have various outlets where I'm sure I can raise a fair amount of money for CRUK.

That is, of course, if I'm welcome to ride along. I'm desperately trying to build up some stamina as 50 miles a day is pushing my limits right now - but there's still plenty of time! (Note to self: buy a bike that doesn't fall apart).

Fox out!

Hey Fox, send us an email to brumtoberlin@gmail.com and we'll sort you out. 50 miles was my max until the weekend just gone so don't worry. Next meet is in 3 weeks time, however if you wanna pop to Bike Polo on a weds/sun we're all there too and I'm happy to chat to you.

After doing London to Brighton in the torrential rain in 3.5 hours riding time with a poorly tummy, I'm finally confident I'll be fine to Berlin!!! Some guys from London are up for riding to Brum so I was thinking we could maybe train halfway, ride the rest and then ride back the next day? Put our first day mileage to the test...

Whens this Jess?

Are we doing stratford tomorrow?

Name dates you can do (weekend?) and I'll make it happen. I'm still doing Stratford, pumped to keep training now! Just need to build my bloody tourer. I can do 60-70 fixed but not 120!

i can do stratford but will probbaly gte the train from wood end, n meet u there. wot time u wanna meet in stratford?
