Wyre Forest CRC Treasure Hunt

This could be an excellent route for all our youth/go ride members as well as the usual riders. Those new to cycling will find it a good introduction too. I rode the course on my road bike to make sure the timing was ok and also the off road bits, which were fine. I've done a circular route and kept as much as possible to quiet roads and country lanes, and nothing too challenging. By placing the clues in clusters riders can do sections of riding without the need to be constantly stopping. The directions should be easy to unravel as we don't want anyone to go off course. I've also built in a 'pub stop' about two thirds the way round for anyone needing a short refreshment break.

If the weather on the day is a bit damp the course will be ok and we will have the large marquee up in the gardens so the food and drink will be under cover and the BBQ will still go ahead. There are showers and changing facilities at Cross Bank Farm so everyone can get themselves comfortable after their ride or swim! The pool is heated by the way; and is at its best after 2 or 3 sunny days beforehand.
As regards the food, we will have the usual barbie fare but you can add to it if you want, a few drinks and puds are always welcome too. About 3 weeks beforehand we will start to confirm who is coming, probably getting names at the mid week TT's or such like.
