Event Summary
Event Overview
Ride to support local people in Birmingham living with life limiting illness and help us raise £45,000 in 2022!
Ride the Reservoir is back for 2022! We’re excited to be returning with three scenic routes so whether you’re new to cycling, a seasoned pro or somewhere in between there’s a route to suit everyone this year!
Our 25km route is a beginner friendly route. Setting off from 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. The route involves a small amount of on road cycling with the majority being located on, canals, cycle paths and trails. Suitable for those new to cycling and children or teenagers who have experience of riding on cycle paths and are confident on roads and in moderate traffic.
Our original 75km route is perfect for keen cyclists. Starting from Newman University, cyclists will venture into the Worcestershire countryside; passing through scenic villages such as Romsley, Belbroughton, Chaddesley Corbett, Dodford and Barnt Green. Featuring challenging climbs throughout including the well-known Romsley Hill this popular route grows in popularity year on year.
The pro route is an extended version of our ever popular 75km route. At Barnt Green, cyclists will leave the intermediate route travelling through Tutnall, Beoley and Alvechurch before re-joining the intermediate route towards the Lickey Hills and onwards to the finish line at Newman University.
