Another great turn out for the Blazing Bikes Wednesday Night ride out over the Longmynd with over 20 Riders again, then back to The Station Inn for some beer and complimentary food.

All our fleet of Hope vision lights were hired and proved a big success for those who arn’t ready to commit to the big spend.

The ride led this week by Will, Ben & Berty all showed off their skills on how to pile in on the down hill. (a better example next week please lads).

Look forward to seeing more people next week, we leave the Blazing bikes HQ at 6.30.

Anyone wanting any more info or to book light hire contact Ben or Will at the shop. 01694 781515

1st WEDNESDAY NIGHT RIDE OUT

Richard Davies — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 07:18:16 +0000

Our 1st Wednesday night ride out was a huge success with 14 riders of all ability, including Marc Beaumont ( shropshires world cup winner last week in Val di Sole).

A climb up the forestry then a fast decent down to the cattle grid at the bottom of Asterton Bank, then a huge climb up the road to the gliding station, finishing off down Minton Batch with some 1st timers who have definitely got hooked.

Back to The Station Inn for a well deserved beer and complimentary Sausage & chips.

Would be great to see even more riders next week meeting every Wednesday at Shropshire Hills Mtb centre at 6.30.

Progress at Last

Richard Davies — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 08:59:00 +0000

After a massive set back with a landslide where our toilet and shower block was being built we have now found a solution to move forward.

Our mtb centre and camping pod site was due to open mid May but now will be open by August.

We look set to launch a pilot scheme for way marked trails and maps for The Longmynd over the next few weeks. You will be able to get a free copy of these maps from The Station Inn at Marshbrook Until the new MTB centre opens.

The Shropshire Hills MTB web site is now up and running and so is our camping & pod website with Blazing bikes online shop being launched in July.
