Saturday is forecast to be dry and after a dryish week, hopefully the roads won’t be too mucky. The Blue and Pink routes make their way to Wilton and return via the Chalke valley, Sixpenny Handley and Zig Zag. The White route heads to Tisbury, Fovant and 6d where it meets up with the other routes for the return to Gillingham.
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.
The routes all finish at The Old Brewery Cafe in Gillingham where you can stop for coffee, cake or lunch.
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!

Blue Route: 82.4 kms, 975 m elevation – est speed 24 kmh / 15 mph
