Not this year. But, as the promo says "...have a great day in the Shropshire hills and build some great memories", I still do after 40+ years.

My first touring adventures began in the S. Shropshire hills.

First time for me, but a few of the other guys from my club who have done it before are in as well.

Where are you from lifeson?

OK.
I will probably be in a Redditch top and going very slowly up the hills - but very fast on the way down .
I will look out for you.

I'm doing it, I assume its an audax style ride and not a sportive?

That was tough but good fun
Congratulations to those who took part and got back in one piece!

Throughly enjoyed that, along with my 2 fellow 'likely lads' - superb vfm and somewhat challenging road conditions made for a memorable day and showed just what a rip off some of the sportive events are
