Venturing out to the Mynd tomorrow - not ridden there for years, so a bit vague on the layout. What do you reckon to this route from the edge cycleworks:

Might have too much ale in my legs to do the whole thing, but it looks v adaptable - what loop could be cut out, and what is a must-do?
(Also sounds like a chance of snow on the Mynd tomorrow, so that's another thing to think about).

Not too bad. The first climb up the road makes life a bit easier. I would take a map though because there's a lot of unmarked paths on the top. More likely to be misty than snowy though. Come down via Minton batch if you can.

Townbrook hollow is the best descent on the hill but cheeky.

It's been snowing in Shropshire this afternoon & definitely in church Stretton.
