This week our route will be a bit different! We will ride on a variety of urban roads, cycle paths and canal towpaths, suddenly arriving at places you may recognise. As there will be so much of the route off road, we will be away from traffic and it will feel very safe and quiet, but there will also be plenty to see, including signs of Spring, the wildlife of the river and some interesting buildings in Moseley and at the university.

A hybrid bike may be best but confident riders will be fine on a road bike. As this is an urban ride with plenty of stops and starts we will be slower than usual and will take a while even though it’s shorter than usual.

We will ride along the Cole Valley cycle route, past Sarehole Mill, looping through Moseley and Highbury Park to the Rea Valley route then onto the Blue Cycleway down the Bristol Road to the university. After riding through the campus we will drop down onto the towpath and along to Stirchley where we will call in at ‘can eat’ for coffee, brunch or lunch. After that we will head back uphill to Kings Heath. There are few hills on the rest of the route though.

Please make sure your bike is roadworthy. Wrap up warm, wear gloves and bring waterproofs. Please bring some money for the coffee stop. We strongly advise that you wear a helmet.
We are a friendly group of women and welcome anyone who would like to join us. We all love riding our bikes!
