Ad hoc Rides

Wednesday Evening Rides in Winter

While the regular Wednesday evening rides are suspended during winter, ad hoc rides are arranged each week provided the weather forecast is ok and enough people say they are coming.

The ride will be within Birmingham to avoid unlit, pitch black, country lanes. Some of the route may be along canals or cycleways so proper lights are essential. Suggestions for destination are welcome.

Meet at the Main entrance to the MAC at 19:45 for a 20:00 start ie outside the park as many of the gates are closed at dusk. The return ride usually starts at 22:30ish. Some rides could start & return earlier if participants want this.

How:

Monday - notice posted on rides mailing list and this page if weather forecast is OK.
