It looks like a cool but dry morning on Saturday with the chance of a lunchtime shower. Three routes as usual, all initially heading out to Semley and Ludwell. The White route then tackles the climb to Win Green, and onto Ashmore and Fontmell Magna from where they head to Shillingstone and Sturminster and back to Gill.
The Blue and Pink routes go through the Rushmore Estate and the Gussages and then take different routes back to Blandford, Child Okeford and Gill. All rides end at Cafe Corsa for coffee and cake (or perhaps a breakfast ciabatta).
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.
If a group is of mixed ability, there is nothing stopping you from splitting into a slightly quicker or a more sedate group. All rides are no drop rides but please select a group suited to your ability!
Pink Route: 95.1 kms, 971 m elevation – est speed 28 kmh+ / 17.5 mph +
Blue Route: 82.6 kms, 921 m elevation – est speed 24 kmh / 15 mph
White Route: 63.0 kms, 773 m elevation – est speed 20 kmh / 12 mph
