Saturday will see us hit with a blast of Artic air to remind us that February is not Spring!
All the routes make their way to Bruton where the White route turns north east to the south side of Frome and onto Longleat and back via Maiden Bradley. The Pink and Blue routes continue to Evercreech with the Blues heading to Frome via Cranmore, whilst the Pinks go to Vobster and onto Frome.
The rides end at the Old Brewery Cafe and Kitchen for coffee, cake, or a big late breakfast (White Group only!).
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.
There is nothing to stop a group splitting into a ‘light’ and a ‘dark’ group, and a slower group can take on a longer route or a faster group ride a shorter route. All rides are no drop rides but please select a group suited to your ability!
