The Ride
We rode our southern loop together from Centenary Square along the Rea Valley route to Cannon Hill Park then through Highbury Park to Kings Heath and along the Cole Valley and Stratford Road to our morning break in Sparkhill Park. We carried on for a wonderful welcome in Alum Rock then to BRIG/FoE, for an amazing lunch stop.
From there we started the northern loop to Handsworth and for a pit stop by Sons of Rest, Handsworth, who gave us a great welcome and use of their facilities. We continued on through Sandwell Valley Park and on to our afternoon break in Victoria Park calling at Abrahamic Foundation on the way. We then headed back via Smethwick to Birmingham city centre and to a fabulous welcome and chance to relax together at Centrala, Digbeth for the finale.
