Brown Clee Blast

Our WOW Weekend away MTB ride will blast off at 10.30am from Brown Clee roadside parking, near Cleobury North, WV16 6TA. What3words /// moving.affirming.muffin
There are 2 possible routes for this ride, an extended ride of 11 miles with 1800ft of ascent and hopefully taking around 2.5 hours approximately. However, as the route is a figure of 8, a shorter option (8 miles and approx. 981ft of ascent) is also on offer as we have 3 qualified leaders and riders can decide after 2.8 miles which option is best for them. Some of us did the shorter route with Ruth Finney from Recce in March 2025. The terrain is rough tracks and country lanes. The route will not be ridden beforehand.
After the ride lunch is at Willows café in Ditton Priors (WV16 6SS). What3words ///vocally.balloooned.gears, a 2 mile car drive from Brown Clee roadside parking. The café serves lunch until 2pm. The car journey from Willows Cafe to Wilderhope Manor is 8/9 miles (20 mins) depending on your route choice.
Please bring everything you need for your bike repair just in case, water, a snack and an extra layer.
