Evening Leisure Ride to Ironbridge
1 people attending
11 places left
Jump on the train to Telford after work and enjoy a relaxed 25km evening cycle down to Ironbridge for a drink.
This route is mostly off road along bridleways and cycleways with nothing technical. There will be mud in places and therefore only suitable for mountain bikes or wide tyre bikes. The route is visible here. The plan is to have a couple of social drinks in Ironbridge before cycling back to Telford. We would likely get some food in Telford town centre prior to departure.
If you're not a regular cyclist, please do make sure your bike is in good condition - check the tyres are well inflated, chain is oiled, and you've got a spare inner tube, drinks and snacks with you.
There is flexibility with the start time to coincide with your trains. Get in contact with the leader to confirm.
