After the storm. Looks like the roads may start off wet, and autumn air is due to arrive too, but it should be dry on Saturday. All routes make their way to Frome via Gare Hill. The White route returns by way of Whitham Friary and the Brewhams. The Blue and Pink routes continue to Vobster where the Pink route has an extra loop before returning via Evercreech and Bruton.
The rides all end at the Old Brewery Cafe and Kitchen for coffee, cake, or brunch. Who will get to the cafe first this week?!
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!
