Shrewsbury Midweek

Shrewsbury Midweek Rides - April to September 2008

We meet under Greyfriars Bridge, Coleham, at 10.30 am for an easy paced 'C' ride of 30 - 50 miles (average speed of 8-10 mph). Please note that we ride at the pace of the slowest rider and no one is ever left behind.

Lunch destinations of a pub or café are listed (there will usually be somewhere close by suitable for those who prefer their own sandwiches). If you are meeting us for lunch, please ring one of the contacts below to confirm the venue.  

We always welcome ideas for new runs and lunch venues, interesting places to visit or local events taking place.

For further details contact Bryan (01743 360876), John & Jenny (01939 232061), Graham (01743 352929), Malcolm (01743 718345) or Terry (01743 350038). 

If you haven't been with us before, you may be wondering what to take with you.

Any type of bicycle will be suitable as long as it is roadworthy. The bicycle needs a spare inner tube, pump and tools to remove wheel and tyre in case of a puncture. The rider needs a drink for en-route and lunch or money to buy food if out all day. Waterproofs are sometimes needed and should always be taken just in case, it is more comfortable to carry spare items on the bike in a saddlebag or pannier. 

 

You do not have to be a member to try any of these rides, however you are limited to attending six rides as a 'guest' before you are expected to join the CTC. Members have valuable benefits including third party insurance, legal aid, advice on all aspects of cycling and an excellent bi-monthly magazine.  Please quote our DA code 'L2' when joining, for details call 0870 873 0061 or email  membership@ctc.org.uk.
