Hiya mate. Unfortunately I am going to be sat at my desk doing the same boring rubbish I normally am, so couldn't come out.

However, had a peak at the weather? Not looking great but maybe bit dryer in the afternoon. As a nice bimble, I would personally recommend this from your area....

- Heading west from Wolves to Bridgnorth on the A454,
- From there go North West to Much Wenlock on A458.
- Then go South West on B4371 to Church Stretton.
- Then A49 south to Ludlow.
- Then B4364 North east back to Bridgnorth. Then from there the A454 back to Wolverhampton.

Its about 81 miles of lovely roads. The only thing I don't know right now is how much mud etc is out and about. Can be quite a bad road at times but empty. If you fancy something easier.....then maybe jump on the mway to Bromsgrove then take the roads from there to Stratford Upon Avon......bit boring though.

Once the weather is better, I will deffo be doing the above loop ive mentioned a few times.

drew thats an average ride out to me, but now you mention heading towards bridgenorth, the cafe in Quadford seems like a good idea right now, getting to the A454 is boring for me tho, left off my drive, left and the end of my road, then the first left at the mermaid lights.

just got out of bed so i wont be leaving for a hour or so.

bike has decided its not going to start, flat battery looks like ride-out today isnt going to happen

I have learnt in the past if something stops you going out it normally means someone is going to crash, its how its always worked in the past, so rideout is not going to happen for me today, fix the computers for me instead today and try again tomorrow.
