*NOTE* – it looks like it may be frosty again so the meet time will be at 9:30am, and Sat looks like there will be light winds and the sun will be out. (Spring is on the way)
This week all 3 routes will head south-east and although the routes look similar to last week have quite a few changes (honest Edd). The rides all head out on the famous Bay road, then across through Semley and the Donheads. The White Route turns off here through Rushmore Park, after which it rejoins the other routes. The Blue and Pink Routes carry on via Berwick St John and Ebbesbourne Wake. The Blue Route turns south here, up over the ridge line then down to Sixpenny Handley, while the Pink Route carries on to Cranborne. All routes then return up from Tollard Royal, Ziag Zag hill and Shaftesbury, along Stour Row before returning via East Stour. Mike the route
Pink Route: 54 miles – est speed 17.5 mph +

Meet at 9.30am at Wheels car park, Station Road, Gillingham. Please download your route to your GPS device, and bring your ride essentials. All rides are no drop, but please select a group suited to your ability! There is nothing stopping a faster group doing a shorter route or a slower group doing a longer route if they wish!
