Saturday’s forecast seems to change with each update but it looks like it may be showery and breezy. Given it is the third day of the Jubilee celebrations, the routes are slightly shorter than normal this week. All three routes head east to Hindon and Dinton, allbeit by varying routes. The Whites then turn south towards Sutton Mandeville before turning for home via Tisbury, the Donheads and Shaftesbury. The Blues and Pinks continue to Wilton returning through the Chalke valley.
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.
The Blue Group have recently often split into a ‘light’ and a ‘dark’ blue group, and there is nothing stopping other groups doing the same. All rides are no drop rides but please select a group suited to your ability!
