Cycling for All Abilities

At Shrewsbury Sports Village we have a 1 km floodlit cycle circuit, the envy of many much larger towns and cities. We welcome riders of all ages and abilities to make use of these excellent facilities either for an individual session or an organised group session (see below).

The site is also connected directly to a wonderful national cycle path Route 81 providing opportunities to leave the car and cycle into Shrewsbury or out towards Upton Magna and beyond.

Please bring your own bike when possible. Please enquire should you wish to access an adult, child, tandem, trike or adaptive cycle.
