ourmaninthenorth – Got it! Take the job now! It's all good.
There's an outdoor track at Halesowen. They have summer evening meets, dernys an' all. It a really good scene. Halesowen Cycling Club.
Clent Hills and Wyre Forest just down the road. Kinver, Malvern, Ludlow. You'll be able to hook up with Mick Arms and the Clent Duffers, or join the Wyre Forest crew….
Road rides out into the middle of nowhere (worcestershire/shropshire) with the Stourbridge club. Some beautiful countryside out towards the SW of Brum.
Mrs Stratobiker used to work in Kingswinford. She used to commute along the canal towpath from Kidderminster. About 11 miles with just a couple of miles of tarmac. I used to ride in with her then ride home via Kinver Edge. Then have breakfast. I was fit in them days…. you got me goin' now!!!!!
Junction 2 of the M5. No to bad, in fact, very good. Look for somewhere south of Brum to live like Bromsgrove, Kiddermister, Hagley, Kinver.
Yep. I'd say a very acceptable place to live and work.
