SOUTH SHROPSHIRE HILLS

Description

113km cycling event starting from Bewdley, Worcestershire. Controls at Church Stretton, Ludlow and Bewdley.

Off to the South Shropshire Hills for Bewdley Bike Week. This route provides a hilly challenge for cyclists wishing to test themselves. More importantly, it is a lovely route with great views.

This event first ran in 2022 under the guise of Part Time Skivers. It returns as an x-rated (no thrills) event for 2023. There are plenty of views and climbs to be had en-route, of the Clee Hills, Wenlock Edge, Caer Caradoc and the other Stretton Hills. For the most part, we try to keep off A roads. An advisory finish point is the cyclist friendly Bewdley Brewery where pop-up food is often available. The average speed range is 10 to 30kph, ideal for both fast and 'full value' riders. There is no formal hall start or finish. A local brewery pub recommended by local cyclists will also make an ideal meeting point at the end. The route is also a good litmus test for July's Kidderminster Killer Audax.
