Hi, I'm over in Rugby and to be honest I haven't found a lot round here. One thing there is though is a few old railway lines which, whilst not vey demanding, do provide some quiet miles.

There's a couple over Southam way (the old cement works line). Grab an ordinance survey map, they're marked on there.

If you get on at Rugby you can ride it all the way to Leamington Spa. Some of it's all done up nice and some is left to the elemants (they're the best bits).

It's even better when you get so much cack around your mech that you can't change gear.....Good times

I know this is an old thread but i'm guessing the disused railway line is still there

what is the trail like, is it good as a mtb trail or just a muddy track?
