Beginner's cycling weekend in Shropshire

For those of you who’ve always fancied the idea of sampling the delights of rushing through the wind Lance Armstrong style, this is your chance!

The numerous back roads and lanes of historic South Shropshire offer some of the finest and most varied riding in the country. Endless traffic free roads, castles, mountains and charming country villages all feature on our Little Stretton based weekend.

Our Introductory Weekends are designed to give you a great introduction to road riding. You’ll have the opportunity to ride in a small bunch, learn the tricks of the trade, and get to ride in some of England’s finest scenery. If you have recently taken up road cycling, are looking to get off your mountain bike for a change, or are interested in turning your morning cycle commute into something a bit more fun then this is the weekend for you.

With a minimum of two Skedaddle guides, themselves enthusiastic cyclists, leading the way you can forget about route finding and concentrate on the fantastic riding offered by our hand picked routes.

You can drive to the weekend location, or why not take advantage of our free tain station pick up from Church Stretton and avoid the Friday night jams? We will return you to the station at the end of the trip in time for your train home.

Our support vehicle is never too far away and meets us at several points throughout the day with plenty of delicious munchies to help keep the pedals turning, as well as lots of hot and cold drinks. As you take in the great riding and comparable views the vehicle moves off ahead to prepare our delicious buffet style lunch full of tasty, healthy choices. The support vehicles also carries bike spares and space for tired bikers if the going gets too tough or you need a lift up the odd 'cheeky' climb.

Each trip is kept specifically small; between six to fifteen riders and is fully guided by at least two guides, enabling us to cater for different fitness and experience levels in the group and has the luxury of a support driver too. By all means bring your own bike along or if you haven’t got one, you can hire a top quality Giant road bike from us.
