Graham Lennard replied to Ryan Stait's discussion Bournbrook Route to Woodgate Valley
"The route from Harborne lane to Stonehouse Hill/California Way is now surfaced. The section to West Boulevard is still unsurfaced but not too bad I think. The path on the south side of the Bournbrook in the Woodgate valley itself is the…"

"I'd head up the western arm of the North Birmingham Route - get yourself to the Park Road entrance to Brookvale park in Stockland Green and it's signed from there - the final stretch through Suton Park (on tarmac) - exit at Wyndley…"

Graham Lennard replied to John KIRK's discussion Only 17 months for this ?
"True and I would welcome those advantages for cyclists - but it doesn't mean that it's safe to just adopt those practices within a signalling system that isn't set up for it - and users don't expect…"

Graham Lennard replied to John KIRK's discussion Only 17 months for this ?
"Thats rubbish! again? what do you mean? - all I did was question what John said - and it's my firm belief that if you ride through red lights it's not just yourself you are putting at risk - which is damn irresponsible."
Graham Lennard replied to John KIRK's discussion Only 17 months for this ?
"If you did go through a red light are you suggesting it would be just you who were endangered? - or no-one? (I'm not sure what you mean) - anyway you would endanger yourself - and any other road users who had the right of…"

Unused recumbent?,...
Just wondering if anyone might have a recumbent languishing in a shed at the moment that my broken thumbed self could try and get around on while I mend?! Thanks Graham (I promise not to try the same mtb stunt that broke the thumb.... ;-)

Cannock Monkey Trail
If you're into mountainbiking, you have to go and try the new Monkey trail at Cannock - stunning... loads of steep and swoopy single track descents and well graded hairpin climbs... taking the Follow the Dog trail to another level... "as good as some of the welsh trail centres.." FTD also has some new final sections - very good stuff - look out for the werewolf drop off... ;-)

Andy K said… - Hi Graham,
Who's the person to talk to at BCC about permission for cycling events? I'm looking at organising a couple of charity rides in May and June. Just wondering what permissions we need. Get me on here or andy@focusbirmingham.org.uk
Cheers

Graham Lennard said… - You'll need to speak with the Highways section about the route. Start points?.. the Parks "department" or if it's City Centre the City Centre management team for booking space. Also yuuseful to discuss with the Events section (in the House of Sport now but moving to Manor House near the markets) You'll need to speak with British Waterways if you want to go along canals. Do you want to drop me an email setting out your idea to graham.lennard@birmingham.gov.uk and I'll forward it around - and give you some contacts.
