With just two of us out for this Mother's Day morning ride we chose an easy route along Colston Road to Staverton, where we were surprised to see that the derelict warehouses near the station had been demolished and new stone-built residential units were being erected. After seeing one of the many steam trains arrive we took the riverside path to the recreation ground and enjoyed some light refreshments there before heading home via the daffodil-lined lanes near Abham.
