A beautiful spring day
and a good turnout made this a very enjoyable ride for all.
11 cyclists arrived at
the Acton Scott Café having made their own way on varying routes.
We sat outside in the sheltered garden of the
café for a spot of sun bathing while we chatted over much needed
sustenance from the café or our cycle bags.

The temperatures,
despite the more or less constant sunshine were rather variable for
the ride. Some had come over the Long Mynd well wrapped up against a
very nippy headwind and we all appreciated our layers on any downhill
in the shade.

The last to leave the
cafe returned to their various destinations as a group of 5 via
Marshbrook where we took the lovely lane up through the bluebell wood
and on up to Minton where we were rewarded by stunning views before
descending again to the B road and along to Plowden.
We then took the road up the the quiet road to Asterton, a fabulous
route along the side of the Long Mynd with sweeping views west.
We completed the next
miles together through Whitcott, soon peeling off to complete our own
routes homeward bound.
