"sustrans is also very good.  "Agreed! Plus contact the Tourist Information Centres of the counties you intend to pass through; you can make an initial contact through the Tourist Information centre closest to where you live and they should be able to provide details of their counterparts in other areas. You could also try contacting the County Councils pf the counties you'll be travelling through. Under their respective Transport Policy, they have to include cycling routes, facilities and such like. Most councils have a cycling promotions/awareness officer. Lastly, if you aren't a member already, look at the CTC, the Cyclists Touring Club, who can provide invaluable help. | |||

"Cheers guys Did a 40 miler today easy enough so all looking good." If you aren't used to that sort of distance, you could head to Sutton and train from there to Bromsgrove. Whatever you do, don;t think riding through Brum is a good idea -horrible city for cyclists. | |||

The CTC are great but will almost certainly only give advise on longer rides, as for expecting to get help from councils and LA's - no chance, it's not what they do. Their role is about bike lanes and safe routes in suburban areas not handing out route advice. | |||

"Cheers guys Did a 40 miler today easy enough so all looking good. by the way in one day or over 2 days lets hope no rain and the wind is not to bad " Shouldnt take me longer than 6 hours - Im a reasonable cyclist but its just a new route i dont know at all. Have found google to be pretty useful to be honest coz you can tweak the routes etc so its all good so far - about 75 miles it reckons | |||

"Mapmyrun is good. My advice, for nice quiet roads (this is my old home area) for the second half, head towards Twycross, then Atherstone, Shustoke, Maxstoke, Meridan, Balsall Common, Knowle, Hockley Heath, Earlswood, Wythall, Hopwood, Bromsgrove" Good man Thats pretty much the route that ive ended up with so far. Might have to go to Stratford so will have to tweak it but its all good. | |||
