2026 Q3 - Shropshire Hills

This route will take you on a rewarding 50k journey through rolling countryside, where every turn reveals a new perspective and every climb leads to something worth seeing. You'll follow a loop that returns you to where you started, but along the way you'll experience a landscape that is constantly changing, rising from valley floors to high points of 466 metres with a wonderful mix of sweeping descents, quiet roads, and flowing climbs. With nearly 1,000 metres of elevation gain spread across the route, you'll find plenty of opportunities to settle into a rhythm, enjoy the scenery, and appreciate the character of the terrain. Some gradients will briefly remind you that you're earning the views, but the route is defined far more by its sense of adventure and progression than by any single climb. Expect a ride that feels varied, engaging, and memorable from start to finish; a route that invites you to look up, take it all in, and enjoy the journey because, after all, This Is Not A Bike Race.

Fair play

Same route for everyone

When you upload your GPX file, we check it against the original route to make sure it broadly matches. This keeps things fair without overcomplicating it.

GPS is not perfect

Small GPS drift is completely normal. We allow for that — no need to stress about perfect lines. We’re not here to nitpick rides.

A bit of friendly competition

The leaderboard is there for motivation, not pressure. It’s about seeing what you can do on a given day — not racing anyone else.

Ride it your way

This is about getting out, riding the route, and enjoying it. Simple as that. No pressure, no drama.

No stress. No egos. Just good rides.
