Sunshine is forecast for Saturday with a light wind from the north. All rides make their way to Dinton via Hindon. The White route then turns south to Sutton Mandeville before heading for home through Tisbury and Semley. The Blues and Pinks head north towards the A36 where their routes split. The Blues go through the Langfords on their way to the Woodford valley. The Pinks head for the edge of the Plain at Shrewton and onto Burford and Amesbury, then heading down the Woodford valley. Both routes head home via Wilton, Dinton, Tisbury and Semley.
Cafe Corsa has reopened this week and the rides can end there for coffee, cake or brunch and a chat.
Meet at 9.00 am at the Wheels car park, Station Road, Gillingham. Please ensure you download your chosen route to your GPS device, and remember to bring your ride essentials, particularly sufficient liquid refreshement.
The Blue Group sometimes split into a ‘light’ and a ‘dark’ blue group, and there is nothing stopping other groups doing the same, or for a slower group to do a longer route or a faster group to do a shorter route. All rides are no drop rides but please select a group suited to your ability!
