Overview

Using decades of cycling know-how, each of the three distance routes offered have been professionally designed.

While you enjoy stunning scenery, rolling hills, and tour past local landmarks - the team makes sure you have everything you need. This really is a sportive not to be missed.

By taking part you’re helping the Royal British Legion raise vital funds to ensure they can continue to support serving and ex-serving personnel, and their families, for as long as they need it. 

This event is part of Poppy Ride | Shropshire.
