Route information
Distance 112k / 70 miles
Beginning at the Transport Museum just outside of Birmingham, this 112k route loops through the Worcestershire countryside. From Wythall, riders will hide towards the village of Rubery and then onwards to Clent, with a climb up Walton Hill, the highest point in the Clent Hills.
Continuing on to Cookley, the route crosses the River Stour and heads to Kniver, where riders will face the Kniver Edge climb, with an elevation of 80m. At Upper Arley, riders will have to dismount before pushing onwards to Button Oak and Button Bridge, where there will be a steep, fast descent to tackle.
The next challenging section is Cobley Hill, which is closely followed by Holloway Rise. After these final ascents, riders will return to the start point at the Transport Museum to conclude their ride.
