Latest issue-Lickey Hills

Great write up RD! Is Sandwell trail finished yet?

Composite,if your doing a ride the Wednesday after I’d be up for it,in Solihull so pretty local for me,been looking for alternatives to Cannock and Sutton Park for a while,

Will try and get up there myself Wednesday after …. if my legs still work after mayhem !

So, it’s got a bit wetter in the last week but forecast is good from Monday onwards if anyone is about?

Went up today and had a good ride around. Did the full route on the first lap, second we followed our noses and had a cracking ride. Would recommend to all 😀

Hi Lump, where there two of you, one riding a Canyon?
Matt.

Yes, that was us, Black and White Canyon and Green Mariachi.

Hi there, I passed you in the car on the way up Twatling Rd, nice bikes:-) did you come from the station or you live local? I live opposite the woods but the pollen is really giving me a bad time so I don’t feel like riding ATM. Matt.

Parked up at the station and rode from there, not local, first ride up there.

But not the last 😀

How do the Lickeys compare to the Wyre forest then ?? where abouts do you park if you drive over to them ?

We packed here outside the train station, it was free and the start of the route 🙂

To compare it to the wyre forest it’s like comparing an original mini to a double decker bus, it’s smaller. You’ll also have to do a bit of tarmac riding too whereas the Wyre is totally off road. Still good though

Btw lump did one of you have a bright orange helmet?

Bright lime green 😉

I think I said hello to you if you were on the way to the canal, I was wearing a red singletrack jersey riding a SS

Ah SS and beard 😆 we did indeed 🙂

I need to get up to the Lickeys, as I normally just head to Clent. Would be great to hook up with others for a Tuesday eve ride.

First little explore of the Lickeys today. Think it’s fair to say you need a bit of local knowledge. Bit of mud too. Nice area though…
