Event Summary

Event Overview

On yer Bike! The inaugural Tour d'Arts Alive event. A day for two wheeled fun, whatever your age.

Whether you are a Wannabe Wiggo or more of a part time pedaller, whether you ride a  Pinarello or a vintage velo, Arts Alive, Flicks in the Sticks and bike tour company Rideventures have combined forces to create a day of cycling, fresh air and fun in the beautiful south Shropshire hills. This will be a friendly event with something for everyone.

Both route options will be clearly signed.

Choose between:

  • The Clun 100 - 68 mile/110km hilly for the dedicated cyclist who likes a challenge - 1,400m of climbing over iconic Shropshire hills - interactive map
  • The Clun 50 - 28 mile/46km route with a few gentler climbs. Come in fancy dress or best retro gear - interactive map

En route there will be cake stops at village halls for refuelling, when you are back delicious hot food will be on sale from local vendors and the bar will be open.

Handmade unique medals to prove you’ve done it for all participants.

Everything will start at Clun Memorial Hall, which will also be the HQ for family fun from midday.  There will be free hands on making workshops for kids from ‘Sticks and Stuff’, ‘Bling Your Bike’ workshops, street theatre, live music, and general bike related arty fun. Come and cheer your biker family members on, or just come along, you don’t need to be a cyclist or even to bring a bike!

There are lovely 4 and 6 mile circular way marked walks from the hall, ducks to feed on the river, a castle to explore; a great free day out.

Tour d'Arts Alive is a fund raising event for Arts Alive the charity that brings professional live performances, big screen films and live satellite screenings to communities all over Shropshire and Herefordshire. Enjoyed by thousands!

Entry fee £20 per cyclist, all family events are free
