  Thursday, 22nd April 2021 13.42 miles. Wythall - Kings Norton - Wythall . Out via NCN 55, Iknield Way, rather undulating, or, "very hilly" as Kathleen described it! Return via Stratford-on-Avon Canal, much more gentle. Bright sunny, calm day, 6C initially, but, rising to 14C. A bit of excitement when riding along the Stratford-on-Avon Canal towpath, two narrow boats negotiating the Shirley Drawbridge (bridge 8). Friday, 23rd April 2021 4.44 Miles. A short trip to the nearest supermarket (Tesco Express). Saturday, 24th April 2021   9.41 Miles . Withall - Earlswood Lakes . Bright sunny day, 17C, but, with a cold wind blowing from the East. Bit of a disappointment, major works at Earlswood Lakes means that most of it is closed!

Two vintage 1947 pensioners, riding  Hase Pino Steps Semi-recumbant tandem. Mild 19c, but, always the threat of rain, which became actual rain when we were almost home. Coffee and Cake stop, at Whitburn Cafe. This is not a route we have done before, on the tandem, and, we managed to have our first "off", at the point where we turned off coast road, to head inland, a combination of a very tight left turn, and a hill, too much for my tandem skills. No injuries, just our dignity damaged 😂
