Chase the light into the hills on the Stones & Shadows Recce — a golden-hour guided ride through one of Shropshire’s most atmospheric landscapes. Starting from the foot of the Stiperstones ridge, we ease into the evening on quiet lanes and farm tracks before climbing towards dramatic rocks and big-sky views — just as the light begins to soften. From there, we drop into the woodland at Shelve, where flowing singletrack and twisting trails bring the fun before dusk.
Perfect For:
Riders with good base fitness who want to squeeze more adventure into their week — without the planning, logistics, or all-day time commitment. If you’re craving open skies, moving legs and a fresh perspective on your riding routine — this is your midweek adventure.
