Saturday is looking dry with a light breeze. All 3 routes head to Sherborne and Bradford Abbas. The White route then heads to Yetminster and back through Holnest, Stourton Caundle and Stalbridge. The Blue and Pink routes head on to Sutton Bingham reservoir after which the Blue route heads to Evershot, Lyons Gate and the Caundles. Meanwhile the Pink route heads over Rampisham Down before rejoining the Blue route in Evershot.
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!
