CycleBirmingham - Push Bikes: Wednesday Ride to Shirley (15th May)
Ride to: The Woodmans Rest in Shirley www.emberinns.co.uk/thewoodmansrestsolihull/
Meet at: The Midlands Arts Centre, Cannon Hill Park, Edgbaston (By the tables and seats next to the rear doors of the MAC). Meet from 7:15pm, set off 7:30pm. The route be along paths, tracks, towpaths, side-roads and quieter main roads. Bring lights, locks, a spare inner tube, tyre levers and a pump. It is worth bringing some water proofs in case of rain and remember the temperature drops after sunset so bring suitable clothing.
If the weather is not looking so good leading up to the ride there may be changes or it may be cancelled - please remember to check here for any updates prior to setting off for the ride.
The ride will finish at the destination where riders are welcome to join each other for a social drink and food if available. Riders are free to return home as soon as we arrive there. We normally team riders up with others who live in the same direction as them, as we all live in different directions. A number of the female riders often ride part way home together. We try and make it a fun and enjoyable evening for all :)
Trains: The nearest rail station(s) to the destination is/are Shirley and Solihull. You can get a return or single ticket for £2.20 to many stations in the West Midlands County (after 7pm), no need to book in advance and bikes are carried free of charge on local rail services.
