Another beautiful Sunday for cycling. It was a joy to wake this morning to sun once again after the interlude yesterday of much needed rain.
We cycled into Birmingham mainly along the canal system and enjoyed a sandwich in Brindley Place. Birmingham was very quiet almost as though everyone had forgotten to get out of bed! That’s for the winter not for a gorgeous Autumnal day like today.
We passed the heron on the way in and upon our return. It was lovely to see one within a mile of the city centre.
It was pleasing to see that yet another old canal building and the arches attached to it now being renovated just as you enter the city centre. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
One sour note, on Tuesday I cut my ride short because of a near miss. Today I had another one, this time along Longwood Lane in Aldridge when a horse box nearly took me out whilst overtaking. It seems (and it is a fact) that every ride is now accompanied by such an event, that leaves me saddened and shaken. Is it too much to ask that drivers just take it a little easier and pay a little more respect?
Next week Norfolk!
