Hi Olly,
Well done becoming a real member - maybe you could organise a meet up your way - just go for it!!!!!
                                                                                                                                                                             

me organise anything lol you want to see me trying to get the kids ready for school in the morning                                                                                                                                                                              

Hi olly welcome to the BM flock. It's good that you have put your kids first and now you will gradually get more time to enjoy biking again. There are a number of members in your region and you don't have to got too far south to meet a lot more. There are plenty of events within reasonable distance from you and most are good for kids.   Enjoy your time on BM and you won't look back.

Hi Olly welcome to BM,have fun Lol..                                                                                                                                                                             

Welcome to the dark side of the site lol grab a life jacket and jump in waters always warm we will be at squires in a few weeks (4 march) I think sunday lunch if you can make it would be good to see you there.
Take a look at the BM olympics shames camp and the BM Rally both are child freindly so if you can make it see you and the kids there                                                                                                                                                                              

Welcome to the site Olly, as Alice2 said money well spent on full membership. And as JP said quite a few of our events are child friendly so bring them along, no need to miss out on having a life. Good set of folks on here, easy enough to make friends up and down the country. Hopefully catch you at one of the events in the coming year.

Hello all - been a member for a few months now but never joined a forum. Im ShazzaP from Sandbach in Cheshire - dont have a bike license yet but it is on my bucket list! Love all things bikes and am a very keen pilly! I have booked a few rallies to go to including NABD, Shires and the Lost Wolf so hope to make a few new friends there - also the Thundersprint which I have been going to for a few years. Good luck to all and hope to make some new friends this year x

Stay safe everyone x
