I know -my apathy has been so bad that I haven't even had a go on them yet. Actually hoping they might be a good way to get some fun back into my riding.godivatrailrider wrote: ↑Wed Aug 02, 2023 8:04 amNewbold Comyn has a purpose built MTB track now !boxelder wrote: ↑Mon Jul 31, 2023 9:53 am What about out along the cycleway through Newbold Comyn Park for a lap of Dreycote Water on a gravel bike?

Is the Burton Green route the Greenway? if you have a gpx route that shows that could you share with me?

Re: Not getting out there, wasting time (and my life) instead
ah yes I spotted the HS2 route last time I was in Kenilworth, I'm impressed with the new cycling infrastructure going in in parts of Cov, especially Binley Road, and the other thing that caught my eye recently is the Lias Line greenway and some newly finished sections,godivatrailrider wrote: ↑Wed Aug 02, 2023 8:01 amThe railway is still there though it's been sanitised for the greater good... used to be a cracking thrash down from Burton Green to Crackley, twisting single track ... then they put a bulldozer through it, then they tarmaced it to 'improve' it..Tractionman wrote: ↑Sun Jul 30, 2023 10:14 pmmy old stomping ground, I used to love the old railway through Crackley Woods, as a Coventry kid growing up there in seventies and eighties the Avon valley was a great escape for me on the bike, hope it helps to inspire, it's a great part of the world

It's literally the greenway from Kenilworth to Burton Green. Not many options from Burton Green though ... you can link to Warwick Uni from the Kenilworth end.Rockbus wrote: ↑Wed Aug 02, 2023 10:52 amI know -my apathy has been so bad that I haven't even had a go on them yet.

This is exactly what YOU need to be doing, not me. I know the routes, ridden them countless times. There's a great track in the trees both sides of the Kenilworth Road from Gibbet Hill to A45. Also Wainbody Wood ... go and explore !
