Description

A great ride to try out an Audax, or those recovering from illness/injury, or those who'd find this distance a challenge or simply those looking for a pleasant day out in Staffordshire countryside.

The ride starts out with a popular way for cyclists to get over some major roads. After Whittington cross roads, the route has a series of lanes through nice villages. The reward for making it halfway is a cafe stop control. Its a drop into the River Trent valley before heading back to Whittington cross roads. The official route goes back via Lichfield outskirts to make a figure of eight, but you could always re-trace your steps if you prefer.

Please enter beforehand to make it easier for the organiser, but entries on the day are possible. Free DIY toast from 7:30 am. Combination of cafe, info and free controls. Free refreshments at finish.

Any surplus funds goes to support the running of Cycling UK North Birmingham Club. Shenstone is served by trains from Birmingham New Street and Lichfield Trent Valley station is also only a short train or ride away for other main line routes.
