Wyre Forrest, very nice location, if we get this heatwave their banging on about, it will ride awesome too.there is also a nice little loop in sandwell valley near west bromwich, its nowhere near the size of the other locations mentioned, you can get round in ten mins but there are other bits of singletrack over there and its fine for a few hours midweek.

There's a few little trails in Hopwas Wood, between Lichfield & Tamworth. A bridleway loops from Lichfield, out to Hopwas.

Sutton Park, few trails there.
