Try this one then.

Home to nearest point on the No. 11 route. Once round.
Then to the No. 8 route. Once round.
Then to Queensway. Sprint round.
Back to the No. 8 and ride it the other way round.
Back to the No. 11 and ride that the other way round.
Home.

Follow the buses lol thats a great idea. I only know a tiny strech of the 11 route though, and I don't have a clue where the 8 goes. I'm not very good with the buses.

I wouldn't mind riding around the lickey's though, I haven't been there in years.

Stechford, there aren't many nice roads around here though

There's a nice fall from Fillongley to Maxstoke.
It includes a tight double bend.
47 mph in the tuck.

Another is Merevale Lane towards the A5 at Athersone. 46 mph.

Bassetts Pole to Mile Oak, 45 mph.

Liveridge, Gorcot, Tapster. All fast descents.

Christ! You must have good brakes. It's a dead end at the bottom!
