Holiday in Shropshire

[Waynetta]

Hello folks. Got 7 days booked in Didlebury near Ludlow. Obviously taking the Levo SL so looking for guidance where to go riding.
never been before but hoping for nice fast flowing trails and steep techy stuff but NOT into jumps (broken back, fractured skull and dislocated shoulders have put me off! )
Going mid September and really looking forward to it!

Looking at a os1-25000 there’s a mind boggling amount of trails! Can’t wait.

Shrewsbury is probably my favourite place to ride in the UK right now.
We're planning a 3 day trip at the end of July.
Only been there twice.
But did the "Flying Scotsman" trail and the "Ridge" in Stiperstones, both awesome trails.
Also stunning scenery, you'll love it ?

What sort of distance can I expect? I like to get 30ish miles in if possible

Around 30 miles is about right, there are quite a few routes on AllTrails which are excellent.

This MBR route is a good one, slightly shorter at around 20miles though:

Bare in mind some of the rides have quite a bit of elevation, so a 20 mile ride can deplete the battery the same as a normal 30 mile ride
