Saturday looks like it will be dry, but chilly with a light northerly wind. The sun may even make an appearance!
The White route heads east through Semley to Fovant and Dinton, returning by way of Hindon, West Knoyle,Mere and Bourton.
The Pink and Blue routes also head east towards Dinton before hopping over to the Wylye valley. The Blue route follows the valley to Warminster whilst the Pink route makes a detour to Chitterne. The Blues return through the Longleat estate and Maiden Bradley whilst the Pink route continues to Frome and back over Gare Hill.
The rides all end at the Old Brewery Cafe and Kitchen for coffee, cake, or brunch.
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!
Also, a reminder that if you haven’t paid your membership fees they are due now!
