Birmingham was pretty peaceful at 1.30am until a brawl broke out in the street below.

Guys...you HAVE to ride Netherton Tunnel after dark for full the full spook !! If you've done in daylight then you'll be familiar with the experience but at night...with NO light at the ends to aim for its ACE !!
Do you have any plans for a ride out soon...I'd like to tag on please !!

I'm definitely up for some urban night riding fun. Count me in.

My other night riding fun is probably best left as a solo affair. I love to climb up into the country lanes south of Birmingham after midnight and then switch off my lights and ride the lanes in moon light. It really is magical once your eyes adjust. It sounds mad, but there really is no danger. You can hear a motor vehicle from miles away - I just pull right off the road and let them get clear as I shield my eyes to save my night vision.
Badgers tend to be a problem though. Bloody solid buggers they are.

There's no way I'm going near that place after dark. Netherton I mean!

Moonlit country lanes sounds good - Full moon dates

Mmmmmm...I appear to be in the wrong nite riding group...its all about high powered lights, buckets of sweat, adrenaline and burning thighs...not car parks, beer, bets, moonlit lanes and god knows what else you people get up to...I'm up for a laugh but not here...HAVE FUN FOLKS !!
