It’s been a long time. My ill health problems left me scared of climbing on a bike and hitting the pedals. It didn’t help that I got conflicting advice from different doctors, so I wasn’t sure and I certainly wasn’t confident. The weather this winter didn’t help either. It was never going…

Kenilworth Greenway ” Lets try again “
01.03.2014. We first discovered this disused railway line back in the summer of 2013, The first trip was an after work evening ride, I did a bit of tinternet research ! & it seems you pick up the start of the trail near Berkswell train station. However this involves a trek on foot across numerous…
” Kenilworth Castle ” and Sustrans route 52
Because our ride had been cut short on the Kenilworth Greenway, we decided to continue on Sustrans route 52 into Warwick. Firstly a few shots of the castle.
Sustrans route 52, continues the fairly short distance into Warwick, But if i’m being honest ! it’s not really a bike friendly…
25.01.2014 Picked up the Grand Union canal near Yardley cemetery for the trip into Solihull, We have cycled this canal many times during the summer and its usually a very pleasant ride ! Not today though, the towpath was very wet & sticky. Even the water was ugly, dirty dishwater grey at best.

I’ll ride to…

Getting There: 206/365
For a second day on the bounce we made the most of the weather and went out for a walk. This time we visited Blithfield Reservoir near Abbots Bromley. It was during the seriously cold winter of 2010 that I last visited. This was brought about by a chap at work wondering if the reservoir was frozen…
