Great ride today!

Did a great ride today, from home had the steady climb to Horsehay before meeting Lee in Dawley, we then descended into Ironbridge via Lightmoor, Cherry Tree Hill & Coalbrookdale. Passed through Ironbridge & then had the tough drag of a climb up & out of Broseley following the undulating back road to Bridgnorth - great countryside views.
We climbed out of Low town B'north up Hermitage hill on the Wolverhamton road - tough at better than 12% - but once off the main road we had a steady spin around the country lanes of Beckbury, Grindle Forge etc before riding through the back end of Shifnal to Sherrifhales & finally heading for home via Preston on the Weald Moors. A grand total of 49.2 miles - most enjoyable - although I was a more than bit tired at the end.
