Jan, it's too bad there's no other plausible route. Glad you were able to enjoy the ride up. Did you use Old Julian Rd, and see the camels?

Jon Penner Hi Dave, Yes - I took Old Julian highway eastbound, but I stayed on 78 back home. The Old Julian Hwy is a much nicer option.

It will be more or less my first day back in the office later this month (Feb 2022) due to COVID restrictions at work. Previously I had parked my car at The Hawthorns, bought a train ticket but cycled in to work instead. I am now told that you must use public transport if parking at The Hawthorns. I don't mind paying to park but surely you must be able to park and cycle without the threat of being chased for a speculative invoice. Any way, I found that "Just Park" can be used to book a parking space at Asda at Great Bridge. From there I can pick up the Walsall canal and join the Birmingham canal and carry on with my usual route.

Hi Anna, I know the feeling. It can be really tough to get people involved. Have you tried asking them why they're not interested? Perhaps you could arrange a lunchtime ride and then help folks create a profile and log the ride right then and there? Is there another organization you could try competing with? Maybe that would help stoke the flame a little. Props to you for continuing to try... they'll come around!

Kurt Alderson Next year get a head start on it. Talk to HR - they may help with incentives, too. Plus you'll get some cred.
