Birmingham and Solihull Explorer from Sutton to Lichfield

This is one of our twice monthly Explorer rides where we use train or car to get to our cycling start point and explore areas away from our South Birmingham/Solihull "home" at a steady pace of 9/10 mph. This week we'll be taking the 9.37 am train from Kings Norton to Sutton and then meeting those travelling by car, or bike, outside the café at Town Gate at 10.30* where there's plenty of free parking. The route will take us through Sutton Park and then mainly on gentle country lanes to Lichfield. We'll aim to be in Lichfield for our refreshment stop around 12 before heading back to Sutton via Shenstone and Little Hay and the train or car home. We aim to be on the train by 3, punctures permitting! Helmets are recommended but not compulsory. Please bring a drink and snacks, plus a spare inner tube and cash for train and for any refreshments you want to buy. We look forward to sharing a great day out with you Gaye and Ann * Contact me if not starting at Kings Norton and/or for any queries or if weather looks a bit iffy ring Gaye on 07738334271
