Harborne Circular

Being the time of the year for witches, anyone dressed appropriately will be especially welcome- but not compulsory (and not anything that might catch in the bike!). The emphasis of the ride is fun, so we will stop and help each other whenever anyone struggles at all. No actual refreshment stop built in, but we can discuss possibilities at the end if requested. A varied circular ride along Harborne Cycle/walkway; past Edgbaston Reservoir onto the towpath of Birmingham Canal. After passing through the City Centre, the route returns to Harborne via the Worcester and Birmingham canal tow path, with a short on-road section at the end (quiet roads). The cycleway is easy to cycle along but we may need to avoid walkers. The towpaths have a few canal bridges but otherwise fairly easy. Overall, the route is not flat but any gradients should be fairly easy to cope with.
