Join us for a 74km (approx 50 mile) hill ride through (and over) the Shropshire Hills, starting and finishing at Church Stretton. 

If planning on making a weekend of it, there are plenty of hotels in Shrewsbury further up the train line and the starting point of Sunday’s ride

Will Allaway (OutdoorWill) will be leading this ride as part of his assessment to become a road cycling leader.

We will be travelling through several Shropshire towns including Little Stretton (has a phone box), Bishops Castle (has a brewery),  Stiperstones (has a pub) Bridges (has another pub) and over the Long Mynd back into Church Stretton for tea and cakes.

It’s a long ride and the days are short, hence be ready to start promptly at 10:00an and bring your lights just in case that one slice of cake turns into two.  If the forecast is for ice the route may be altered or cancelled.
