It’s time to arrange a day of group muni, and to coax out all the local-ish (UK - Midlands) riders.
Who’s interested in coming along?
On Saturday 29th Way at the Wyre Forest, nr Kidderminster. Meeting up at the visitor centre at, say, 10 am for a day of riding, pub visiting and general larking about.
There’s everything from a wheelchair friendly trail to steeps you can barely walk down. Distance / level of difficulty / no. of ‘rides’ to be decided based on who’s interested and what they want.
There will be a family friendly ride, maybe with extra loops off around the more demanding bits of singletrack for those who want (or need!) it.
I was just about to throw my hand in the air when I realised that is the weekend I get back from holiday so I doubt I’ll be back by then. I’ve mountain b*ked around there and it is pretty good riding
Hey Jo, i’d really like to meet up with you. I live in Canada but i’m going to be visiting family and friends from May 18th to June 1st. Unfortunateley i won’t have my uni with me unless you have a spare. Let me know if this is possible or if not give me the details for sure when you are going meet up, cheers.
“How far is Kidderminster from Leicester? If it’s easily accessible by train I’m interested! Is it muni muni or 29er suited?”
A 6.45 train from Leicester gets to Kidderminster at 9.30, according to the rail networks website.It shouldn’t be a problem getting you picked up from the station. Should be fine on either muni or 29, weather depending a slick tyre may be a bit of a handicap.

I’ve only got a 20" trials apart fom my muni, but one of the others should be able to bring something more suitable along. I’ll ask around…
Sounds cool, but where is Kidderminster? How far do you reckon it is from Glasgow?
I can probably afford the train fare but I won’t be able to afford accomodation so if someone can give me a floor/couch to crash on I’ll come down for it.
Kidderminster is 20 miles south west of Birmingham, it’s where BUC / unimeets were last year. It’s got to be at least 250 miles from Glasgow. If you’re keen to come you can doss on our sofa.
Cheers, man. Thats totally decent of you, but after I posted that post I went to the train time website and it’ll take 7 hours to get there so I’ll leave it for this time. Next time tho!
This muni day is the result of myself and Steve thinking it would be fun to see how many others we can get to come riding with us. Judging from responses thus far, either the 3 weeks notice is a bit short, or the bank holiday weekend is a bit inconvenient. Not to worry, should be fun for those that can make it.
Perhaps I’ll try a Sunday for the next one, say mid-July (if the redbull is not fatal!)…?
It looks to be 7 or 8 so far, including kids. I expect it to be ‘recreational’ rather than ‘flat out’.
My mob. is 07980921727 if anyone needs it. I’ll be there at 10am or thereabouts, and I’ll have a spare 20" trials with me.
