Kingsbury Waterpark Explorer

Sky Ride Local in Birmingham

Not cycled for a while and looking for an easy way to get back in the saddle? Fancy a fun way to get your friends or kids riding? Our Easygoing rides are great for building confidence for all abilities and ages along relaxed, mostly traffic-free routes. They’re up to six miles long, with a gentle pace of around six miles an hour.

Join us on this family ride around Kingsbury Water Park as we explore some of the lakes and paths in this lovely country park. We'll enjoy the sight of birds and wildfowl, and admire attractive views of the lakes. After our easy family ride why not check out some of the other things the park has to offer, from a minature railway to an adventure playground and cafes. Our ride is just three miles, but there's lots of opportunities to ride a bit further too!

Meet the Ride Leaders

• Neil Newman Hi
  My name is Neil. I have cycled since i was a child and still cycle to work each day. I have done lots of charity rides all over the country in that time, my personal best being John O’Groats to Lands End in ten days which i did in 2010 .
  This is my first year as a SKY Ride Leader and I’m really looking forward to getting out there and meeting new people and encouraging more people to cycle.
  Hope to see you all soon
  Neil
  
• James Harrison I have been riding now for 3 years, after I stopped playing rugby I needed something to keep me fit, I started riding my bike to get a break from just running. As soon as I got onto my new bike in 2009 I realised that it was love at first ride. Since then I have ridden over 2000 miles each year, completed several 100 mile sportives and managed to conquer 2 Etape Du Tours. When I'm not taking on the mountains of the Alps I love nothing more than to train with my 2 children of 5 and 2 years, my daughter who's 5 sits on the back of my bike with a tag along (makes those hills a little
  tougher!) and my son sits in a seat on the back of my wife’s bike. My love for cycling has now entered my work place as I have now set up an industry cycling club called MediaVelo to encourage the people of the media industry out of the pubs and onto their bikes. With over 200 follows it is going from strength to strength.
