Cannon Hill Park

A fine autumn day.  Twenty-three riders led by John Bennett on an interesting ride via Harborne churchyard and the university to the café in Cannon Hill Park.  Back via the Rea Valley route. 

The route is here.

Café at the Old Mill, Northfield

Two groups today, one led by Alan Drabble, the other by John Bennett, a total of 27 riders.  The groups took slightly different routes, met at the café and took slightly different routes back to Rowheath.

The route followed by John's group is here.

Thanks to John T for recording the route followed by Alan's group, which is here.

Christmas Lunch 17 December 2016

We are again having a Christmas lunch at the Cotteridge Inn on Saturday 17 December.  Please see Sandra Waldron for details.

Earlswood longer ride

Only 6 riders (including John T who led the ride) (Louise, Phil, Sarah, Rose, and Richard).

The rain was terrible - although not quite as bad as on the ride John P led to Tardebigge a few weeks back - but it never stopped!  Despite the really nasty weather, I think everybody thought it was a good ride.  Roads good - surfaces good, not too busy and no real hills.  People said we should do it again one Saturday next spring - when the sun will be shining!  The route is here

The shorter ride was led by John B with 11 riders to Kings Heath Park.

Asda, Barnes Hill

Seventeen riders led by John Bennett to Asda, Barnes Hill.

The route is here.

Gaudet Luce golf club

Eleven riders.  Despite changing the route to avoid puncture hazards from recent hedge cutting, two riders had flat tyres.  We were also held up when two riders took a wrong turning.  Fortunately we met them again some time later, after some less-than-straightforward mobile phone contact.

Weather fine and warm.

The route is here.   

Waseley Hills

Twenty-six riders led by John Porter to Waseley Hills.  Weather cool and dry.

The route is here.
