Routes around south birmingham

[paulb55]

Hi all,

I have a lot of time on my hands and love getting out on my bike but seem to be running out of areas to ride around in South Birmingham.
anybody got any ideas for rides from Rednal/Bromsgrove
so far done route 5 to brum and bromsgrove, clent hills, stourbridge etc

To the Malvern hills and back?

A quick look at the map suggests you've got plenty of scope once out of the ring of motorways. Just get a 1:50,000 OS map (or look at it online at www.streetmap.co.uk) and make up your own routes using the yellow roads - out towards Chaddesley Corbett for instance.

If you want hills, keep around the Clent, Lickeys and Windmill Hill area. Heading towards Worcester it gets flatter, until you hit the Malverns.
I'm too looking for some good routes.

The Beacon Road cycling Club does lots of rides around the south of Birmingham - see http://www.beaconrcc.org.uk/
There's an introductory ride each month and regular C rides which are shorter and slower than the A & B runs. There's also an informal social ride from Tardebigge on Thursday mornings with a range of speeds! Bikely has lots of BRCC runs which are usually good routes south from Northfield.

You could look at www.ctc-heartofengland.org.uk rides on Weds, Sat & Sun every week.
