City centre

Cold, bright and frosty morning, with slippery patches on roads and paths.  John P led eight riders on a safe route via the towpath to the city centre, back via Harborne walkway - by which time the frost had disappeared.

The route is here.

Maypole

An enjoyable ride on a damp morning.  Eight riders led by John Bennett to Sainsbury's at the Maypole, back along the towpath.  A persistent drizzle on the way out, drier on the way back, but quite mild.  We were all glad we made the effort to turn out.

The route is here.  

Woodgate Valley

An impressive turnout - 26 riders - on a cold day.  John P led to Woodgate Valley, and John B led the return trip via a slightly different route from usual.

The route is here, and here's a photo from John B of the ride through Woodgate Valley Country Park.  Thanks to John T for more photos of the ride, which appear under the "gallery" tab.

Five Ways Morrisons

19 riders out on a cold misty morning led by Steve on an interesting route via Muntz Park, Selly Park, University and the Calthorpe Estate to Morrisons at Five Ways, returning through Lee Bank and part of the River Rea route and Stirchley Park.  A ride of 13 miles.

Thanks to John T for recording the route, which is here.

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.
