I know it is obvious you are not. they will never let their own leave. You travel.

But still you do not deny the obligatory club foot of a resident

Or the fat people. Rugby is full of really fat people. Their club feet must stop them from getting any exercise!

But the inbreeding capital of the Midlands is Bedworth!

Nope, can't deny it

I don't spend much time in this section, but techinically, I'm part of it. I'm also a part of the Pennine Massive and the Border Patrol. Pretty much all the rides I've taken part in start a fair way from my home. That doesn't stop me taking part though. I'll head up to Yorkshire, The Lakes or Wales, even all the way to Devon and Cornwall but I've never come for a ride in this area. There are plenty of places to go in the region, but I've not been to many of them. How about we organise something and I can come south for a change.

+1 for me, except the idea of being associated with the BP

The rides that G has been posting are interesting to me, because I'm right on the southern border of the PM, so I'm looking forward to the rejuvenation with interest.

I think the rides posted by G are interesting for most of us. Could be a regular thing popping up to the Peaks??

After the success of last Saturdays ride out I think quite a few people are interested in doing another soon. DMC came up from Brum and Ed came from Shrewsbury. Proof that people will participate if stuff is organised. Come on people, lets get organising!

I'd be more than happy to do a similar route to last weekend soon. Although the weather through February looks very cold.

Will see how it changes in the coming weeks, keep your eyes on the rideouts thread...
