As we were based in Shrewsbury (at the bike-friendly Sydney House, found on this very website – very good, by the way) I was exploring roads I perhaps don’t know so well. The one that surprised me was the A528 from Shrewsbury to Ellesmere.
I thought it would be a fairly unexceptional bit of tarmac – just a handy transit route on our way to Llangollen and Horseshoe Pass. In fact, it turned out to be a great little road and the perfect way to warm up for a relaxed day rolling through the Welsh Marches and the hills around Bala.
