Wilmcote and back, by lanes and cycle path

This is an easy paced ride, suitable for those who have just started cycling and those who haven’t ridden their bikes much recently. The ride will follow the Ridgeway out to Wilmcote, and return via the canal towpath.  So, there are a few uphill sections on the way out (no extreme hills, honest), but we will take it easy and make sure everyone is OK.  We can stop for a drink at the café at Mary Ardens House, or if preferred we can continue on back to the start point for coffee!  The main requirement is a bicycle in good working order (e.g., good brakes, tyres pumped up, chained oiled if need be).  A helmet is advised, but not compulsory.  A water bottle is a good idea.
