Not just that but have you ever ridden 100 miles before, another cycling milestone achievement.

This ride will tick off both of these in one go.

The ride will be a socially paced group ride, riding to the slowest rider in the groups ability and not pushing there ability. Due to the nature of the ride and for safety we will ensure an experienced rider stays on the front, managing the pace with another experienced rider on the back of the group.

Plan is to meet at the Pheasant Inn in Admaston at 20:00 for a social drink (The option of meeting earlier and a meal is also there if enough people are interested so let me know if this would be something you would consider so we can make a booking).

We will then set off at around 21:00 Westwards into the sunset. The planned route takes us through Shrewsbury and into the Welsh marches through Church stoke and Montgomery into Welshpool. In Welshpool we will stop at the 24hr McDonalds to refuel at about 50 miles. This is quite a long leg so bring snacks for fuel to keep you going.

We then turn and head through four Crosses, LLanymynach and through Knockin. Just past Knockin we stop again at the A5 24hr services Nescliffe at approx 70 miles.

The last leg sees us return through Baschurch, Shawbury, High Ercall through Kynnersley and to the arrivee (Back at the Pheasant).

The route has 700m of elevation, most of the climbing is in the first half to Welshpool, strong climbers will wait and we will regroup at the top, although there are no severe climbs.

Its a night ride so lights of course compulsory. We would also recommend several layers of clothes as it can get dark in the night.
