Take on our Poppy Ride and cycle through the Shropshire countryside.

First time event riders or sportive enthusiasts can enjoy routes that wind through the picturesque Shropshire countryside and provide an opportunity to ride alongside veterans. This really is a ride not to be missed.

In 2023, there will be three different distance route options. All three distance options will start and finish at the Battle Back Centre, a recovery centre established by the Royal British Legion in 2011 to support wounded and injured service personnel returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
