Special Rides in 2011 There are no special rides currently planned but see our other pages for our regular rides. |
Special Rides Special Rides are occasional Cyclesolihull rides which are ...well... special in some way! They may be at a non-standard time or be longer, have a different starting point and visit some new places. There are no special rides currently planned but see our other pages for our regular rides. Urban Pathfinder Rides are occasional rides designed to help you explore urban areas by bike. They use quiet urban roads and off-road paths. You should be confident cycling on quiet urban roads and able to deal with parked cars and simple junctions including small roundabouts. Older children who are used to riding with their parents in this type of environment are welcome but the rides are not suitable for small children. Good bike control is essential for canal towpath routes which may feature short steep hills and sharp turns near locks and over bridges.

What will the weather be like?
See where the rain is now with the Met Office rradar Cyclesolihull rides go ahead unless there is persistant heavy rain (not just showers), very strong winds, snow or ice. Rides are rarely cancelled (5 in 2010 due to snow and ice) but if we feel this is necessary because forecast bad weather we will try and put information about this on the website before the start of the ride.

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.
