7 of us went to Lizzie's Farm on the usual route.  We also saw some bluebells in Balaam Wood as you go into Frankley estate.  Went back down the Bristol Road but over the bridge at Longbridge and down Longbridge Lane to avoid the glass under the bridge.

Dickens Heath

 Today's ride was to Costa at Dickens Heath via the Stratford Canal.. There were 7 riders starting although for the first time ever we managed to lose 2 after setting off from Rowheath. Luckily through telephone messages and knowing our destination the 2 managed to meet us at Dickens Heath together with Bob. So 8 on the return trip. We were lucky with the weather avoiding any rain although there were gusty winds. The route is here
