This weeks ride is a 9.30am start.
Saturday looks dry with maybe some blue sky but quite chilly. As usual there are three routes. All routes head north.
All groups head through Mells and Frome, and return via Longleat and Maiden Bradley
All groups have an option for a coffee stop at the Village Cafe Shop in Mells. The whites also could stop at the Cheese and Grain or Pronto Bike shop cafe in Frome. The Blues and Pinks also have an option for coffee at Nigel B’s place in Corsley.
Meet at 9.30 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!
