After the 2nd lockdown challenge I foolishly thought that would be an end to the lockdowns and therefore the challenges would be over..
And yet, here we are in lockdown No 3 so here is the 3rd in the lockdown challenge series!
This lockdown is a little stricter than number 2, with people being urged not to use their cars, so in an attempt to keep folk local I've devised a number of loops throughout Shropshire, which people should be able to pick up wherever they live.
Each loop is between 35 and 40 km in distance, and has a mix of road and off road terrain (so an MTB or gravel bike will be needed).
Every entrant will receive an entry into a prize draw, and I've been very kindly offered prizes of 3 x £10 vouchers and 1 £20 voucher from Shrewsbury based beer store http://www.sophiesbeerstore.co.uk/ these prizes will be randomly drawn from those people on the completed list on 28 February 2021
Here's how to take part:
- To be entered in the draw, complete at least one of the loops below between now and 28 February.
- Donate at least £10 to the JustGiving page (feel free to give more, or even get friends to sponsor you!).
- Every completed ride will be included on the list which anyone can view here (ride more than one loop if you like).
- Covid regulations at the time of completion must be adhered to.
- You can join the loop nearest you at any point, so don't worry about where you start, just make sure you do the complete loop!
The loops:
Shrewsbury loop 41km 808m Strava
Church Stretton loop 36km 1,005m Strava
Telford loop 39km 783m Strava
Ludlow loop 42km 779m Strava
Oswestry loop 38km 1069m Strava
Nesscliffe loop 47km 588m Strava
If you don't have a loop near you and you want to take part, you can either make up your own (35-40 km with as much off-road as you can) or email me and I'll try and devise one for you!
May the weather be with you!
