Exchange, Broad Street

Five out on a very cold frosty morning for a repeat of a winter's ride along the Canal to the City centre to avoid icy conditions.  Saw lots of bird twitchers at Edgbaston Reservoir awaiting the return of a rare Icelandic Gull!!!

The Potting Shed, Lydiate Ash

The forecast, which turned out to be all too accurate, was for rain, so a shorter than usual Monday ride to the Potting Shed at Lydiate Ash.  Rain stopped as we left the café, so a drier ride home.

Seven riders.

Arrow Valley

After being caught in a heavy downpour soon after setting off, we made an unscheduled coffee stop at M and S in Longbridge while the weather improved.  We were lucky that the rain stopped and the sky cleared for a ride to Arrow Valley, where the indoor café was open for our second break.

Seven riders.

Sainsbury's, Maypole

Seventeen riders, divided into two groups, to Sainsbury's at Maypole.  A heavy shower as we set off, and puddles and mud on the paths.

Steven led eight on a tour of the paths of Hawkesley, with Richard navigating the country lanes, returning by way of the Stratford-upon-Avon canal.
