Kings Heath Park Saturday 5th September
A short ride today as many had to get back quite early. A route to the cafe at King's Heath Park taking in a number of parks. Many saw it as a reminder of past Saturday rides led by John B or Steve. The passage through Highbury Park is a highlight of this ride especially as now many of the minor pathways have been renovated. Fifteen riders on a clear and sunny day. Pleased to meet up with Sarah at the cafe who joined us for coffee. The route is here

two ride today: The shorter went to Lizzies farm Lydiate Ash the longer ride over canals and Parks to Rowley Regis.
