			Chelmsley Wood Rides New for 2011 is a series of short weekday rides starting in Chelmsley Wood. The initial rides will be about 5 miles long using local cycle paths and quiet roads so are ideal if you are just starting cycling or want to try a Cyclesolihull ride. These rides are also our first regular daytime rides on a weekday so are ideal for anyone at home during the middle of the day. The rides will start from near the vehicle entrance to Asda, next to the Banbury club in Chelmsley Wood town centre, returning at about 12 noon. The rides start on Tuesday 24 May - see the left panel for a full list of rides. To join the rides just turn up at the start point with your bike - they are free and there is nothing to join. Cyclesolihull rides are organised by volunteers and can only take place on the basis that everybody accepts responsibility for their own safety. *You can keep up to date with the latest news from Cyclesolihull in Chelmsley Wood - please email info@cyclesolihull.org.uk with 'chelmsley' as the subject.* Home			Cyclesolihull Weather Station

Try Cyclesolihull's other rides: Sunday Cycle Rides take place most Sundays at 2 pm during the spring and summer. They are between 5 and 20 miles long, depending on which of the Cyclesolihull routes is being cycled. Some of these rides are Taster Rides, monthly rides of about 5 miles long. They start at 2 pm and there is a refreshment stop. These rides are an ideal introduction to Cyclesolihull rides for new cyclists and families with children. They are just like the other rides but much shorter! Evening Explorer rides are on alternate Wednesdays from mid-May to early August. They start at 7 pm from various locations and are about 10 miles long, following the shorter 'S' routes. There is a pub refreshment stop of about 30 minutes and the ride will finish before 9 pm. Saturday Stretcher rides are the longest Cyclesolihull rides at between 20 and 30 miles. There is no fixed route and they may use sections of busier roads. They are not suitable for small children.
