i've done kiddiminster to birmingham centre on the canals via a long dark tunnel section on a roadbike
didn't seem too bad, admittedly there were sections as described above where it gets a bit cobbly there's a section of locks ( about 5 or 6 in a row that is a challenging climb up a cobbled rutted incline ) but i whacked it down into 1st climbed like contador and off i went !
canals aren't like the track mind you, speed is not the main criteria, more a leisurely look at nature in nice surrounding ( well apart from the birmingham bit ! )
