The rides are easy-paced and the distances are decided to suit the riders on the day.

The rides are especially 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.

All you need is a roadworthy bike, plus a drink and a snack which can be carried in a rucksack or pannier bags (don't hang anything from the handlebars).

Please get in touch if you would like to help lead a ride occasionally - training and support will be provided if needed.
