Woodgate Valley

Twenty-two riders led by John P to Woodgate Valley country park.  A fine warm day to be out on a bike.     

The route is here. 

Thanks to John T for pics

Maypole

Fourteen riders led by John Bennett to Sainsbury's at Maypole. Cloudy, cool and dry, except for a short shower on the return trip on the Rea Valley route. 

The route is here.

Kings Heath

Twenty-two riders led by John B to Kings Heath via Fordhouse Lane, Brandwood cemetery, canal, Cole Valley, Swanshurst, St Agnes, return via Highbury park, Holders Lane path, Rea Valley.

Mappleborough Green longer ride

Eight riders led by John P went to Mappleborough Green for a longer ride.  Managed to get there almost dry with one short shower but had a thunderstorm on the way back and Icknield Street was under water which made it interesting.  

The route is here.

Thanks to John T for two snaps of intrepid riders sheltering from a downpour in an underpass somewhere near Redditch.

Barnes Hill Asda

The usual gentle ride led by John B went via Cotteridge Park, Cadburys, Stock Wood, the new path through Selly Oak hospital site, Langley Road, Weoley Park Road, then past the crematorium to Asda, Barnes Hill.  Back via the shortest route through Weoley Castle whilst getting rather wet.
Eleven sodden riders.
