Leaving Newman University cyclists will take in some of the forgotten scenic pathways of Birmingham including the popular River Rea cycle route, Cannon Hill Park and Woodgate Valley Country Park.

This was my very first sportive and so I was quite apprehensive as to what it was going to be like for a newbie. I am so happy to say I loved every minute. The course was very easy to follow due to the brilliant marshals and clear signage. Plus all the cyclists were very friendly and helpful. I'm so glad I took part. - Kalda (2020 Participant)
My daughter and I did the 25km ride and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The course was excellent, it was very well signposted and the marshalling brilliant. I thought it was organised well and certainly had a safe feel to it. Registration was a doddle and the food afterwards was very much appreciated. I personally enjoyed seeing those bits of Birmingham that you don’t always see or appreciate when driving in your car. Dean, 2020
The route was superbly marked, the volunteer marshals were all visible and the feed station refreshments were very welcome. It was probably the best sportive I have ever ridden and certainly the best organised. Lawrence
