News 16th August:

Small preview video of 2010 103 miles route added showing tough climb of Long Mynd, Long Mountain and Kerri Hill. This year, better roads (not busier roads!) and long sweeping descents characterise the route. A challenging yet enjoyable bike ride.

News 11th August:

Small preview video of 2010 58 miles route added showing tough climb of Long Mynd and the flowing aspect of the much revised route - lovely! 103 mile preview coming soon.

News 29th July:

The medium route has been altered slightly so that the first section to the feedstation at Westbury is identical to the first section of the longer route. This now makes the medium route 58 miles long in total. Our route map and gpx files have also been updated.

Verenti Wild Edric 2010

With a leisurely 9am start and much revised route for 2010 set amid the suitably legendary countryside of Shropshire and the Welsh Marches, the Wild Edric is named after the local folk legend. For 2010 we make use of more open yet quiet roads. The area used for the Verenti Wild Edric is real pleasure to cycle in - relatively traffic-free yet accessible from mainline rail and motorway. Technically Verenti Wild Edric is in the West Midlands  and you might be surprised how  remote open and wild the countryside is here yet so close to the heart of England (and the Welsh Marches!) A land of myths and folk tales the area is not only beautiful but hilly - at a spectacular 1,600 feet the climb  up to Boiling Well on Long Mynd has become a legend in its own right.

Routes 
For 2010 we've much improved the routes. Riders told us that the 2009 'Edric' will go down as one of the toughest sportives ever in the UK with constant climbing in mostly deserted lanes, temperatures into the 80's and a tough hilly route. Well, for 2010 we've still got some hills but not so many. Furthermore, when you get to the top of most your are rewarded with some breathtaking views over Shropshire and Wales with exciting and rewarding descents to enjoy. Roads are generally bigger and wider, but not necessarily busy with traffic. We've also got flat spells with no hills and some quaint picture postcard villages. If you ride the 103 miles route there are two feedstations, with food and drink to keep you going, located at Westbury after about 35 miles and then  Felindre at about 70 miles. Both stations have proper toilets too. The 58 miles route only visits Westbury - at about 35 miles. There are mountains to climbs and hidden valleys to explore in Shropshire - the secret county. This years Verenti Wild Edric is a sportive for everyone but it's still one of the toughest and most fulfilling challenges around. Not only will your legs be challenged but your whole mind, body and soul too. Click the little pink direction sign icons at the bottom of this page to explore the routes in detail.
