This mainly off road ride takes in many of Birmingham's wonderful parks and green-ways. They say that Birmingham has more trees than Paris and more canals than Venice, well on this ride you get to see many of them! After leaving Birmingham Community Association (BCA) Small Heath, you can warm up in Small Heath Park, then follow the recently surfaced Cole Valley Cycle Route thorough a plethora of small parks and nature reserves along the meandering course of the River Cole and past world famous Sarehole Mill (for Lord of the Rings fans). Onto the canals next, to see some of Birmingham's rich industrial history via tow paths that have been upgraded by the Birmingham Cycle Revolution to make them ideal for cycling.
Then towards Longbridge via Kings Norton Playing fields - Park & Nature Reserve and Back towards Kings Norton park Via Turves Green
Then the Rea Valley Cycle Route into the city via Cannon Hill and Calthorpe Parks. A quick visit to Highgate Park for views across the city, and then the canal takes you back to BCA Small Heath. Several places to stop along the way for refreshments and toilets. Apart from a couple of short climbs the route is fairly flat
