Ride the Reservoir

Blow away the winter cobwebs and join Birmingham St Mary’s Hospice for our brand new springtime sponsored cycle event.

Starting at Woodgate Valley Visitor Centre, riders can choose from two scenic routes. Both routes meander through the leafy green South Birmingham suburbs and the picturesque countryside of North Worcestershire. Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or complete novice, there is a route to suit your ability.

The Family Route - A 10km laid back cycle around Bartley Green Reservoir and through Woodgate Valley Country Park

The Tour de Bartley Green – A 60km hilly challenge starting in Bartley Green and extending into the Worcestershire countryside before heading back around Bartley Green Reservoir and into Woodgate Valley Country Park

Cyclist can sign-in on the day and head off at any time between 10am and 11am.

Refreshments and toilets will be available at the start/finish point and for the Tour de Bartley Green route, there will be a water station and comfort stop en route. For your safety both routes will be fully signed and marshalled at busy junctions.
