Although it’s now March, it seems that Spring isn’t quite ready to spring!
This week the routes head east initially. The Pinks and Blues go to Hindon and split before rejoining at Dinton. The Blues then take the direct route along the Wylye valley whilst the Pinks detour to Chitterne. Both routes make their way back via Maiden Bradley and Stourhead.
The Whites go to Semley, Swallowcliff and Fovant and return via Chilmark, Hindon and Mere.
The rides end at the Old Brewery Cafe and Kitchen for coffee, cake, or a big late breakfast / brunch (a White Group favourite).
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!
