5 out of 5 stars Cracking rides around Birmingham   June 28, 2004
For a newcomer to Birmingham and an enthusiastic cyclist this book was just what I needed. The rides are all well described with excellent maps and start within easy reach of central Brum. Typically the routes take in minor roads and country lanes through pleasant parts of our rural landscape. They also provide a good starting point for setting out to explore on your own. Although primarily for the road cyclist a few routes do stray onto poorly surfaced roads or tracks adding to the fun. Pubs and good places to stop are detailed and a few historical titbits are thrown in adding interest to each route.
All in all an excellent resource.


4 out of 5 stars A useful collection of routes   February 20, 2004
This guide might not be for the offroad rider who only gave one star, but I have ridden a good number of the routes in this book and they offer a good variety of riding within easy reach of Birmingham, mostly on very pleasant country lanes. The usefulness of this sort of guide is that it makes it easy to explore unfamiliar areas. The route descriptions are generally clear and will keep you from getting lost.


1 out of 5 stars Don't buy this!!!   May 30, 2003
 3 out of 6 found this review helpful

Don't buy this if you want any off road rides - it doesn't have any.

Despite the cover advertising on-road and off-road routes around Birmingham, the 20 routes in the book are all on-road routes, with maybe the odd excursion (1 mile or so) onto a bridleway,and then back onto road again. Definately not the true off-road experience found in the other books in the series.
