Absolutely superb sunny morning on the Rea Valley Route to and from Cannon Hill, coffee and a sandwich in the cafe watch the world pass by. Then a quick lap round the park before returning home only 8 miles all in all but hey its further than the sofa would have travelled lol . Oh and at least 24 cheery good mornings given out and 24 returned albeit from a few stunned dog walkers who probably don't get a good morning usually.

This mornings ride Friday March 9th met a mate on Kings Norton Junction tripped off down the Birmingham canal in to Birmingham. Round Gas Street down some other canal came off on summer row, just by Paradise circus cut back up the ICC and rep crossed broad street Down to navigation street down hill street in to hurst street. We picked up the cycle route headed out of the city picking up the Rea Valley route headed up in to cannon hill park stopped at the cafe for coffee and a sandwich then cycled through the park up the Rea Valley route back up to Kings Norton Junction very pleasant mornings cycling.

After 12 months of cycling now  I'm feeling fitter

cycling further I remember when I was out of breath cycling a 2 miles

now I can do 18-20 miles  As long as the hills are short and not to steep lol

I'm working on hills but enjoying my cycling more and more

I got talked in to doing Cannock chase yesterday by a friend although he normally does the Monkey and dog trails we decided to do what's called the blue route which is  a leisurely  cycle over Cannock chase. He lied it was up hill down dale the ups were physical the downs were exhilarating (and yes i did have to push the bike up a few parts of the hills) puffing like an old chuffer train and I did fall off once while turning round, my feet got caught in the toe clips and over I went my mate laughed so much I thought he was going to have a heart attack. Plus when we got back to the cafe for breakfast everyone sees you covered in mud nods smiles and says ya fell off huh.
