It’s been another week of heavy showers but there seems to be a break forecast for Saturday morning, though the (west south westerly) wind will again start to pick up as the day progresses.
All three routes make their way to Milborne Port and Alweston. The White route then heads to Glanvilles Wootton and onto Pulham and Holwell on the way back to Stalbridge and Gillingham.
The Blue route heads towards Leigh and to the top of Lyons Gate before rejoinging the White route near Glanvilles Wootton whilst the Pink route finds a few extra bits of (hopefully) tarmac to ride along.
Possible refreshment stop is the Spire Hill Cafe near Stalbridge.
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 refreshments.
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!
