Overall Duration On a long ride, it’s sometimes good to have a little break in the middle, or maybe a catch up at the beginning or end to keep it sociable. This means that the overall ride duration may be longer than the actual cycling time.
3 hours 15 mins  (2 hours 15 mins cycling)
Bike Type You probably don’t want to drag your road bike across bumpy trails. Maybe you want to make the most of the suspension on your mountain bike. This helps you match your ride to your bike.

You don’t have to be the next Bradley Wiggins, but you’ll need to know your way around a bike and be fairly fit to take part in our Challenging rides. If you’re comfortable riding with other people and fancy a fresh challenge, these rides are perfect for you. They start at around twenty miles long, and are paced at between 11 and 12 miles an hour.

A fairly challenging 24 .5 mile tour of the quiet, rolling Warwickshire country lanes. Starting and finishing at Brueton Park near Solihull, the route takes you south west on quiet lanes to Tamworth in Arden with the first pub stop at The Bell, before continuing to the second canalside stop near Kingswood. Then you'll savour more of Warwickshire's lanes, beloved of many a West Midlands bike rider, before returning to Brueton Park for the finish.

Rider Comments on the Route

  1. Hiren Lad Sunday 22nd June
    Great route, a few ups and downs, definitely deservers the challenging title. Also I had excellent ride leaders, I was struggling at points and someone stayed with me until we caught up to the others.
  2. Gary Barton Sunday 1st September
    This was my first skyride and I can totally recommend it. Elaine (slatter) was a first class leader, she kept the group at a steady pace but made sure every one could keep up and helped make it a fun afternoon. The fun and banter between the leaders and the group was brilliant.
