STW midlands meet up? – Cannock Chase!

Despite it being ‘my local’ you can all breathe a sigh of relief as I won’t be free to be able to inflict myself on you nice people. 😉

A good 3hr’ish mid-paced off piste loop could be put together from Milford Common towards Beaudesert and back. Dependent on your choice of route you will then on the way out get the climb out of Milford, a climb towards Tackeroo and a climb to the top of Upper Cliff (via Beaudesert car park). On the way back you will get a good climb up to Marquis Drive, mainly a downhill leg on various routes down to the last hill before Milford. There can be some good woodland and moorland singletrack with minimum fire road that way.

Will probably be bringing up the rear due to lack of time in the saddle.

That may not go quite as you expect on Cannock Chase..,

Id be up for this if I am free! only been here a few months so I have only ridden the trail centre stuff… also would be at the back as I have a lack of fitness! You’ll need at least one token irish person on the ride!

Hi
To all of you who have replied for the ride, I am pretty sure I can make the tenth but to me Mondays are better, any body fancy a ride sometime on a monday?

Hi guys. I’m afraid I’m going to have to take a step back from organising this, at this time. Minijek #2 is due in the middle of May and my priorities should be keeping my wife worry free, not shirking off on sundays to meet up with a load of internet strangers for a bike ride. 🙂
Thnaks for the interest everyone and I’ve been pleased with the response. I do like the idea of a midlands meet up and I’d love to have a regular ride scheduled. I may raise the suggestion again in June or July and coerce the mother in law to stay over. Happy for someone to take it over if they want to for these suggested April dates.

I’m also going to have to duck out because during my trip there yesterday I then had the pleasure of a visit to a&e afterwards for a few stitches.
