After its arrival cycling took off big time, July did a sponsored ride around Staffordshire for the Diabetes foundation; later in the year did the Wolverhampton Marathon and the Three hills killer on the Isle of Wight.

Some pictures of Baggeridge and Himley, cycled a route around the parks this Sunday. It was freezing. True to form I fell off..... twice.... no pain, just covered in mud. A guy asked if I was Ok, I thought no one had seen me, DOH! Took the pics today for the blog, so I can look back when I'm in the south. I have a lot of memories of the countless treks around here this year. Baggeridge Country Park. Visitors Centre view from the football fields. Bridge over the stream feeding Wishing Lake The Great Pool, Himley Park Himley Hall, Front Entrance Visitors centre. Nice bacon sandwich on a cold December morning. Stream on the Left, and the Dare you to go down them steps on the right. Entrance to Bag jumps. Shhhh it's a secret. Pointless fence to make you get off your bike. Bag Jumps. Don't know what that shadow is.
