Saturday again looks to be dry with light winds from the south. This week the Pink and Blue routes head to Shaftesbury and Zig Zag. The Pinks continue to 6d and Cranborne whilst the Blues head to Cashmoor. The routes rejoin at Witchampton and head back through Bryanston and Child Okeford.
The White route takes riders to Motcombe via Bay Road, on onto Twyford, Bedchester and Child Okeford. The return is through Okeford Fitzpaine, Sturminster and Stalbridge. All routes end at The Old Brewery and Kitchen (Cafe Corsa to you and me!).
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!
