Coventry and Kenilworth

[mjr]

I am going to ride some of the Coventry-Kenilworth connect2 route soon. Anything else nearby worth a look?

Do you mean tourist sites or cycle infrastructure?

Yes I won't have ever such a lot of time though and I'll have an awkward-to-lock-up bike with me, which I suspect probably rules out tourist sites other than viewpoints.

ah, afraid I can't really help then.....last time I went near that path I sunk.

How long ago? I'll pack some flotation devices

when the path opened it had a bit of a reputation for not being good after rain. hopefully it's been rectified by now.

I chickened out. Full story at http://cycle.travel/by/mjray/coventry_k ... h_coventry - comments welcomed here or there.

In other words....just another day out on typical British cycle infrastructure.

The bits in Warwickshire really were an unpleasant reminder of just how micturate-poor some councils are. It was very nice to return to Norfolk. We may give them a lot of flack for what they do wrong (at the moment: no gritting of cycle tracks) but they are miles of cycles ahead of places like that.
