Guest Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 (edited) Bewdley.Has bike parking on the riverside with numerous cafes and a chippy.Clee hill.LudlowLong myndIronbridge gorge as mentioned.There used to be a good caff in the indoor market on the A49 at Church Stretton (just near the Long Mynd) or the cafe at the Midland Gliding Club (on top of the Mynd) take A458 north out of Bridgnorth then left onto B4371 just after Much Wenlock. Directions to MGC here: https://www.midlandgliding.club/what-you-need-to-know/Yes, loads of places to ride out to. Don't discount Bridgnorth itself - there's a really neat funicular railway and the bar at the Severn Valley Railway station has to be seen to be believed! Edited July 30, 2018 by Anonymous Quote

rennie Posted July 30, 2018 Posted July 30, 2018 We may fetch 1 or even both bikes for the ride out depending on beer consumption the night before I'd say for the 125 friendly route. something like this:Bridgnorth, A458 to Much Wenlock, A4169 to Ironbridge,B4176(The Rabbit Run) to A454 Bridgnorth, then A442 to Quatt(Stop, food/drink)Then ,Kidderminster, Bewdley (stop)back to venue B4194, B4363. editedSome good roads here with some fun bits.Without sitting down with a map and working it out I'd say that's appx.70 miles.Will be a slow ride because some of the roads are pretty challenging Quote
