Angelbank

Angel Bank Named after a now lost pub, Angel Bank has a certain notoriety for steepness and is a rite of passage for local cyclists as well as the source of various playground stories of high speed cycling. It was also the site of motorsport hill climbs. At this time the road was descending into a thin layer of cloud. The skies were clear again at Ludlow.
