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.
