YOUR FRONT ROW SEATS TO VÉLO BIRMINGHAM & MIDLANDS On Sunday May 12, 2019, we’re asking for your support in hosting Vélo Birmingham & Midlands, a major 100 mile closed-road cycling event that will welcome cyclists of all abilities to the Midlands. This is a hugely exciting event and there are countless ways you can get involved, enjoy a great day out and make the most of the celebratory atmosphere throughout the region. We’d like to thank you all in advance for your help and support! The purpose of this letter is to give you more detailed event information to help you plan for the day. You can find more information on our website, including a detailed interactive map, travel advice and local access routes. Please visit www.velobirmingham.com. The Vélo Birmingham & Midlands Team PLAN AHEAD – HOW WILL YOUR TRAVEL BE AFFECTED? You may be affected by road closures associated with Vélo Birmingham & Midlands. Where possible we recommend planning travel ahead. On the day you can also use Google maps or a satellite enabled/live update GPS to navigate around the road closures as the route and road closures will be updated live. In order to ensure the safety of the participants and the general public there will also be parking restrictions in place along the event route. For those affected we advise using local parking locations, your own driveway or alternative roads clear of the route. Whilst the cycling route will be closed to vehicles, pedestrian access via existing defined footpaths and pavements is maintained and we advise all pedestrians to use footpaths and existing crossing points where possible. In some sections of the route there is a lack of suitable footpaths and pedestrian access to the road will be facilitated for access purposes only. Please take extra care when navigating roads along the route and ask an event steward for assistance if you are unsure. CONTACT US We are here to help. If you need any assistance ahead of the event with planned travel or other questions, please contact us on [email protected]. On the day of the event in the case of a personal emergency we can assist on 0121 396 1296. A45
