What are the rides like?

The ride will be easy paced and the distance will be decided to suit the riders on the day. We will aim to be back by about 2pm and there will be time for rest and refreshment stops.

The ride is specially suitable for women who have not cycled for a while or are unsure about the best routes in Shrewsbury; but anyone who would like a gentle social ride is welcome.

What do I need?

Please make sure that you bring food, drink and warm clothes and bicycle lights; and that your brakes are working well and your tyres are fully pumped up.
