I don't think you need worry, I'm a novice rider and don't ride fast. Even if I did ride fast you wouldn't get left behind.

hi guys i was running the poll for a week, i think i forgot to mention that lol, i think its already made its mark though lol, im not going to say what should be done or shouldn't, its not the sort of place where someone is in charge, it just takes someone to stand up and voice that things are ****. id like to end the poll on the third as planned open another thread for name ideas and then poll another vote.. some people dont think a name change makes a difference.. i disagree because revamping something.. anything.. needs a step one.. and this is step one! like i said.. MFN is at our disposal.. a guarantee.. and this sections (as some one said before) activity has gone up at least 80% since the idea was put on your screens.. the interest is there.. but the confidence is lost.. but not this year.. if it doesnt work and nothing happens and no one bothers.. well at least we tried, but having faith and effort in doing your best to be a REAL part of something to get this section moving.. its not going to happen overnight, but if we each get stuck in ( or at least turn up ) this cant fail, sure, no one expects 100% attendance lol, but just give it a go. binky.. madness.. G.. look as if there willing to create and post these rides and meetings etc.. and they look great.. great roads.. great views.. and good people not just leaving the planning to them.. of course who ever wants to should get involved, but you decide your level of involvement, but make sure its at least turning up lol,

John

Have you been studying Churchill, Malcolm X and MLK speeches???

That was a rousing little sermon.

Bravo, bravo. You have my vote come oscar time. LOL. On a serious note, like you said, I think there's a few of us now who can hopefully put a bit of time in and make it a good summer of biking for us midlanders.

Just a quick question. Can we have a megathread? I would like to chin wag drivel with my fellow midlands folk. Maybe with a title such as "stuck in the middle with you"!

Know it's cheesy but sat here watching tv and the song stuck in my head! LOL

So at 8.50 on a Sunday morning you're watching Reservoir Dogs Drew?

Shouldn't you be at church?

That would be a question for the Admins but I don’t think they will let you have one. This is essentially a bike forum to talk about bikes and bike related things. ‘Chin wag drivel’ would have to be consigned to Idle Banter and the Megathread there is what I believe would be the response.

Nah. If I went to church I would be on gods radar and be sent to hell double time. Gotta keep a low key!

Not watching it, just randomly the song popped into my brain!

Ok. Just wandered as the other regions seem to all have them. Just a thought.
