Start by riding

around

Chase Water Country Park,

 cycle route.

 

It’s very important to start cycling gradually over a period of several weeks. Don’t expect your body to perform miracles

from day one, it takes time to build your self up, both mentally and physical.

The rewards are well worth going through the “fitness barrier”  to reach a new more healthy world.

 

You will need to cycle at least once every week to stay fit.

 

After riding around Chase Water Country Park a

few times, you should be ready for National cycle Network “Route 5” to Pelsall and Walsall nearly

all traffic free.

 

Or along quiet country lanes of route 5 to Beacon Park Lichfield, enjoy a break in Beacon Park

 

Now your ready for “A Day Out”

Start by riding up to Castle Ring, get used to the hills.

  (Please don't ride around castle ring).

 

When your happy climbing to the ring, your ready to

venture into “Cannock Chase”.

 

Down Telegraph hill, and on to Brindley Heath Pumping

station / Railway crossing for  “Kit bag Hill”.

 

With practice you can look forward to enjoying

 Kit Bag Hill, Sherbrook valley, Milford, Shugborough Park, Great Haywood Packhorse Bridge, along the

canal to little Haywood, then Seven springs, and

 back home through the Chase. Follow the Chase cycle circuit, well signed, easy to follow.

 

What more variety could you ask for, on your

door step, without the need for the car.

Total Freedom

 Go on, try it for yourself
