Hi everyone!
Just thought i'd let you know about a new mountain bike centre that has recently opened in Shropshire, at the bottom of the Long Mynd in Marshbrook (South of Church Stretton, just off the A49).
On site there is a fully stocked shop selling an ever increasing range of bikes including Orange, Scott and DMR. There is also a comprehensive selection of shiny new bits to keep even the most keen fettlers amongst you happy! There is also a Shimano Service Centre certified workshop with Cytech qualified mechanics available.
There are hire bikes available at daily and half daily rates, as well as fully qualifed and insured guides to take you on your perfect ride and show you parts of the Long Mynd you never knew were there, or to help you improve your technique (if you think it needs it!). Also there is a range of demo bikes for you to try, including the 'Trail Bike of the Year' the Orange 5.
On the site there are facilities for camping (including showers) and brand new camping pods - camping but for those with an aversion to canvas! There is plenty of parking available so it's the perfect place to start your ride from, especially as there is a free bike wash for afterwards. The Station Inn is located about 10meters (yes meters!) from the shop for those well earned apres ride beers...
Below is a link to our website and under that the online shop, check them out!

You should definately drop into the shop for a coffee and to get the latest info on the riding available, pick up a free trail map and to arrange a demo for your next new ride!
Cheers!
i believe the downhill called minton batch is supposed to be pretty good( please feel free to correct if i've got that wrong too! 
).
