Not sure if the sun is going to shine this Sat but at least it will be dry and with a westerly ish breeze! All routes therefore head west, through Wincanton and Sparkford and on to Babcary. The whites then head south to West Camel across the A303 and on to Queen Camel and South Cadbury, hopefully rwgps hasn’t failed and taken you to a dead end over the 303, if so you might need to improvise to complete your route. The Blues and Pinks continue to Charlton Mackrell and Somerton, the blues have the option of a couple of cafes in Somerton for a mid ride stop before heading south to Ilchester and on through Bridgehampton, Queen Camel and South Cadbury. The Pinks carry on to Langport where there are a few cafes if they want to stop. They then return via Huish Episcopi, Muchelnay, Mudford, Sandford Orcas and South Cadbury. All routes return to Gillingham via South Cheriton and Buckhorn Weston

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!
