9.30 a.m. Sunday June 8th, Ludlow Rugby Club
All the atmosphere but none of the pain of the Danny Mason Highland Challenge!
Whether you’re just starting out as a cyclist or your best cycling days are behind you; whether you live locally or are supporting family or friends who are riding the Highland Challenge on the day; whether you dress in Lycra or cotton; whether you ride carbon or steel, road or mountain bike.
It couldn’t be simpler:
- Turn up with your bike at Ludlow Rugby Club on The Linney from 8 a.m. onwards
- Sign on for the Lowland Challenge, giving your name, mobile no and that of someone to contact in case of emergency, and paying £10 by cash or BACS (sorry, no card payments)
- At 9.30, listen to the short briefing and set off with experienced Ludlow Cycling Club leaders on a gentle, 14 mile ride on lanes going out north of Ludlow
- Return and have a welcome hot or cold drink at the Rugby Club and as much food as you can eat
- Go home for lunch, or wait for your friends/family to finish the Highland Challenge, feeling better!
N.B. There is a short 100 metre stretch of gravelly, pot-holed track late in the ride.
Here’s the GPS route link, so once you’ve set off with the group and left Ludlow, if you feel confident about navigating using this link, you can let the led group drop behind you or get ahead of you:
