The day ride out would be on Saturday 6th July 2019.
The Bikers' Britain book has been used to create a ride out based around the Ludlow North & South routes.
The route has four sections with breaks, at Ludlow, Bransford & Ludlow. (It's a "figure of eight" route.)
Section 1, Shrewsbury to Ludlow, 53.6 miles in 1 hour 17 mins.
Section 2, Ludlow to Bransford, 48.4 miles in 1 hour 16 mins.
Section 3, Bransford to Ludlow, 50.5 miles in 1 hour 15 mins.
Section 4, Ludlow to Shrewsbury, 44.7 miles in 1 hour 11 mins.
A total of just less than 200 miles in a riding time of 5 hours. Allowing up to 1 hour for each break, that's an 8 hour day.
Perhaps an earlier start of 09:30 might be more appropriate.

Hopefully, the "Northern Monkeys" ETA for Shrewsbury will be around 5:30pm.
If anyone fancies a Friday evening ride out into Wales, it's an option. May depend on how knackered or not I feel, will have been on the road from 10:00am.
Just a "heads up" for anyone getting to Shrewsbury earlier & possibly going to the pub!
