    Thanks TurveyD38, would really appreciate someone showing us the ropes - my wife is good on descents, I am a bit better on climbs but we have both only been doing MTB stuff since April this year - however have managed to fit in Cannock FTD, Wyre Forest (many times) FODCA Trail (twice) Bredon Hill (3 times) so we are always keen to have a go..!

    Can usually do Saturday PM or Sunday most times. :lol: weekdays are out at the mo' cos I am on the road a lot...!

    I will keep tabs on this thread, would like to get shown the better routes at Wyre some time....live near Worcester so M5 based routes are easy to reach....
    Many thaks

    Just been out for a walk with the good lady on Clent and tried to work out where the 'correct' cycle routes are.....

    Hi Peter

    I ride Clents a lot but mostly in the week...as there are a lot of walkers there at the weekend...theres a lot of trails there but you do need to know where to look...

    It also one of the few places around here thats not too bad to ride in the winter

    Turvey ...mind you don't blot out the sun in Tenerife with your manly physic! :lol:

    Thanks again for showing me round Clent 2 weeks ago. :)

    Sorry to hear about your flat tyre. It was -10c this am!

    Went on Craig's social ride in Cannock last Sunday. Lots of snow and ice but lots of fine.

    It is unlikely that Mrs will let me out this w/e. :wink:

    sassy, -12 last night from work!.. Got back and front of jacket and tights were covered in frost! The front wheels spokes looked double the size( like mavic carbon jobbies) due to all the frost too!

    Free Friday daytime for a bimble over Clent if anyone is interested, might be doing a Wyre run on Thursday night too. 7Pm at the Duke.
    Crashing hard since 94...

    Hey Guys, can you give me a full address and postcode for the Duke, i'm thinking of joining you guys on Sunday.

    What's the car parking like at the Duke?

    Hi Mike,

    Duke William Inn
    Callowhill Rock
    Kidderminster
    Worcestershire
    DY14 9XH

    Parking is fine, but anyone using the car park should pop into the pub for a drink after the ride.

    There is a lay by on the left before the pub (coming from Bewdley direction) signposted Lye Head. :-)

    Not too bad really. We went on a tour round the countryside with Muddypuddle so only did a bit of the Wyre.
    Hopefully another visit next Sunday 1030 hrs at the Duke - last one before Xmas.
    See you there?

    Doubt it. Not riding at all at the moment. It's no longer a priority I'm afraid :cry:

    Other than in Tenerife I haven't ridden my bikes either of them since the Cannock ride :(

    Combination, of Ill, lack of time and more recently wussing riding in the snow, I'm definately getting old, I normally love Snow riding.
