Was just thinking, would be great to hop on the train for a few hours to get out in the countryside. Birmingham based, so any recommendations of places to go?
Currently usual riding is solihull to redditch, or stratford occasionally around warwick. Would be great to get some proper rides in, big hills lots of nice countryside views.
Any suggestions or routes?

Some lovely long, but not too steep hills in Shropshire. Probably not that far away for you?Alan

As a 12 yr old schoolboy I went on a cycling tour of the Wye Valley. Think we caught the train as far as Kidderminster. Unbroken rural loveliness thereafter. Cycling back into Brum to catch the return train from New Street a week later was a bit interesting :shock: And that was 40 something years ago0
