Two rides today
(i) Studley garden centre
An enjoyable, if very hot (hottest bank holiday Monday since - who knows?), longer ride led by John P to Studley garden centre. A replacement inner tube successfully solved the problem of a back wheel puncture on the way out. When it deflated again on the return, it was impressively dealt with by Guy's slime sealant and Matthew's Co2 pump.
Ten riders.

(ii) Warley Woods
On the shorter ride, Steven led nine riders to Warley Woods, on an increasingly hot day. The route out was via the Harborne Walkway and Lightwoods Park, with the return including the hidden path through Harborne Golf Club, Bournbrook Walkway and Selly Oak Park.
