Starting point

B13 0ST

The car park at the back of the Billesley Tennis Centre, next to Swanshurst School. Access is from Wheelers Lane. There is plenty of free parking.

This week we're heading off in the opposite direction to usual. We will be joined by a group of ladies from Shirley then set off on a ride through parks and mainly quiet roads then the cycle path along the River Rea to the city centre. We will stop for refreshments and have a quick look round the German Market. After that, we'll come back along the canal, where the towpath is very wide and has a good surface, thanks to recent improvements by BCC. Bring some money, a spare inner tube and waterproofs. Wrap up warm, too! The ride may not be suitable for road bikes as some of it will be off road. We will ride at 8-10 mph. This ride is shorter than some of our recent rides, so if you've been thinking you couldn't manage the distance, then this is the ideal time to join us. The route is mainly flat but with one steep hill back to Kings Heath (walking up is an option!). We are a friendly group who just love riding our bikes, so please come and enjoy the ride.
