Ruth's Rides

It's January, and it's been wet! Even if it's not raining, the ground conditions are wet and muddy in places so be prepared to get a bit dirty! I'll lead the route to take us on the trails in the best condition for the time of year.

This is a women-friendly MTB ride! The route will be easy-going, primarily off-road, exploring the tracks and trails around the Wrekin.... but off the beaten path. There's some great views of classic Shropshire landscapes to be had along the way. The plan is to chat, enjoy the scenery and not worry about riding anything too technical.

The route will be a mixture of bridleways and country lanes. Expect rough tracks, forest fire road and some country lanes. If you are comfortable on blue grade trails then this will suit you. Suitable for mountain bikes, gravel bikes or cyclo-cross bikes.

We'll stop every so often to enjoy the views.

Bring a helmet, a drink and snack, and spare inner tube. If you have any tools and spares then feel free to bring those too, but there will always be someone to help out if there are issues on the route. Also don't forget a change of clothes for afterwards as it likely we will return wet and muddy!

First-timers welcome!
