Sure thing fellas. PM me your email addresses and I'll fling it over. Will be going at this route again between now and Sept. It's fast at the moment with maybe 3 or 4 places on the whole route still damp.

Thanks for a great weekend chaps. Nice weather, good company, great location, very hilly

Had a nice little loop on Sunday after I left you via Cardington, did a push up a bridleway that was so overgrown I had to wheel the bike through on its back wheel. But nice descent into Church Stretton using the GPX

Grabbed some food/drinks/magnum from the shop and had a pretty good drive home too. Then went out for a huge curry in the evening, good way to finish the weekend

Glad you had fun, Ben. Your loop looks to have taken in most of the best bits of both east-side runs. And yes - bridleways in Salop tend to be hit and miss...right now, a lot of them are miss as even the horsey folks won't go down them.

Sure thing Burty. Another run around all that would be great whilst it's dry. That single track around the back of Stiperstones was fun - I've never done it in the dry like that. When it's wet, it's a tricky little sliver of crap that Nanos are terrible on. :)

Glad you all enjoyed yourselves. You'll find me at Bridges again on the Clerics Cure wishing I was 20 years younger. ;)

Sounds like a good ride.

I’m planning a Shropshire ride in a couple of days and looking for good routes.

Do you happen to have a GPX of your route to help me design my route?

Thanks in advance.
