More about the ride...
Weβre teaming up with the National Trusts Stepping Stones Project and @trashfreetrails to bring you a route with a difference.
The Stepping Stones project is a landscape-scale nature conservation project helping create and restore wildlife habitat in the Shropshire hills. This route was designed in partnership with Trash Free Trails to connect some of the key sites where important work is being done to help nature, and to promote Purposeful Adventure.
During the ride weβll stop at several Stepping Stones Project locations where a National Trust officer will give a short talk on why this site is included in the project and why itβs locally important that itβs protected - don't worry these stops will be very brief!
Come & test 3 different bikes back to back around Eastridge Woods on our annual demo day. Santa Cruz, Whyte, Geometron & Hope (bikes) will be attending. Call for more info & to book in. We have lots of acoustic & electric bikes availible to demo. Ebikes will take a separate longer route.
