The Urban Escape

Alexander Stadium, one of Birmingham's premier sporting venues provides the backdrop for this 14 mile introduction to urban cycling. The ride will be on quieter roads through Handsworth and West Bromwich, leading onto the National Cycling Network Route Five through to the impressive Sandwell Valley. Even though this ride is only a few miles out of the city centre you will get a real feel of the countryside - a real breath of fresh air! If you’re fairly confident on your bike and ready to broaden your cycling horizons, our Steady rides are ideal. At a comfortable pace, and possibly with some modest hills along the way, rides take place on mainly quiet roads with plenty of sights along the way. Rides are between 6 and 20 miles long, at a moderate pace of between 7 and 10 miles an hour.
