Cycle out from Handworth - steady 8+

A steady ride, you will go past some interesting buildings and local landmarks on route starting off with a lap around the lake before heading south out of the park. You will travel past Soho House, the Black Eagle and HMP Winson Green on the way to Edgbaston Reservoir. Upon leaving the reservoir, you will travel towards the Hawthorns Station, and pick up following the metro line. From there the ride will pop up on the NCN 5 and head towards Galton Bridge Station taking in a section of canal towpath before making it's way back to the start point. This ride offers a great mix, be sure to check it out!
There maybe an option to use a Big Birmingham Bikes bike hire on request you will need a Wellbeing card and to arrange the bike hire with the Wellbeing Centre. I've just heard that the bike hire option will not be available on this date. Its expected to be available in June. Sorry. Please note this is not a race and if the weather is wet I won't run the ride.
Riders should have suitable clothing for the weather and bring some food and drink too.
