Autumn Challenge

This is a challenging ride starting from The South Staffordshire Railway Walk at Wombourne Station, Bratch Lane, Wombourne. There is plenty of free parking there. The ride heads out through the Staffordshire villages of Trysull, Swindon and Enville before joining the lanes of Shropshire. The planned cafe stop is at the Arley Arboretum at the midway mark (16 miles). The return route takes us further towards the Severn valley with stunning views past Alveley before heading back towards Wombourne. This is a hilly ride but please do not be put off. Walk when you want, rest when you want, no one will be left behind. This ride is to encourage you to climb hills and hopefully gain in confidence. The route may alter due to the weather conditions before and on the day but the aim is to cycle between 32-36 miles. Please be at the start at 9.45 so we can set off at 10am. ETA 3.00pm Please bring with you a puncture repair kit and at least one spare inner tube that fits your bike. This ride is best suited for road/cross or hybrid bikes. The wearing of a helmet is strongly advised. Please be mindful of the weather conditions at this time of year and dress appropriately. I do not cancel rides unless it is icy or snowy.
