Here is the route from Bournville on Strava if this works [url] https://www.strava.com/activities/85209 ... 003143/url]

[Puddindavis]

Thanks. Will see tomorrow if it works

[Wilvo]

Sorry, I was only asking the distance because my wife was interested but it’s a bit too far for her.

[Dave Cox]

No problem but the Intro Guided Ride is also going out this morning which is about 30 mile and might suit her

[Puddindavis]

Just by funeral directors in Bristol rd. walking as chain wedged against frame!

We enjoyed a successful D Run to Lavender Hall who provided the usual no-nonsense good service.
Climate control was provided by my on/of waterproof jacket - light cooling rain stopped as soon as I put it on.

Good discussion on the cafe terrace covering Helen's planned ride around South America, Mark's expertise on HS2 and why can't bike carriage on trains work in the this country and will Brum's cycle network be completed in Dave's life time - not likely is the answer.

And
Caroline Davis who bravely pushed her new but broken bike around the Northfield By-Pass to the Black Horse. But we couldn't extract the chain without potentially damaging the carbon so she had to push it home again. I think the rules allow one club run point for getting to the start - am I right?

Well done Dave

And why cannot bike carrsige work in this country, missed that discussion
