CSM are planning on another Velo Birmingham scheduled for 12th May but using a completely new urban route including Castle Vale, Bedworth, Coventry, Solihull, Northfield and back into Birmingham.
If it’s as good as the first one, I look forward to it.
it is not, I know the route very well they are doing and it is bland, flat and frankly without a decent climb is not for me .... The other route had some decent climbs which is part of the fun of a closed road and why people pay more for one.
Phil and I on anther forum had a heated discussion about this but where he lives there were signs out saying no to Velo but an awful lot of people out enjoying it, music playing, barbies etc ...
so I have to say a few people can make a lot more noise and these areas tend to be richer with people who know how to make the right noise ....
