Ride to the Sun

Join us for a friendly, easy‑going led ride designed for women who want to build confidence, enjoy good company, and explore Birmingham by bike at a relaxed pace. We’ll set off from Hazelwell Park and make our way towards Birmingham City Centre, using quieter roads and scenic towpaths wherever possible. Our route will take us to The Exchange, where we’ll stop to visit the stunning Helios exhibition by Luke Jerram — a great chance to pause, chat, and enjoy something special together. After our visit, we’ll head back via the Rea Valley Route, offering a calm and enjoyable ride back. This is a gentle, sociable, and supportive ride, perfect for riders who may be less confident or who simply enjoy riding in friendly groups of like‑minded women. The pace will be steady, with time to relax, look around, and enjoy the journey — this is very much a chatty ride where enjoyment comes first. Please come dressed for the weather and bring a drink with you, along with some money for refreshments. It’s also important to bring a good bike lock for our stop in the city and a spare inner tube, just in case. Everything about this ride is designed to be relaxed and welcoming, so you can focus on enjoying the route, the company, and the experience of riding together.

This route takes us through quieter roads, towpaths and the signed Rea Valley Cycle Route.
