Saturday was forecast to be sunny, it’s currently forecast to be overcast, but dry and virtually no wind. It will feel chilly first thing.
All three routes wiggle their way east to Swallowcliffe from where the White route takes more direct roads to Teffont Magna, whilst the other routes continue to Fovant and Dinton. The routes then wind from Chilmanrk to Tisbury to Hindon and East Knoyle, with the White route returning to Gillingham through Milton on Stour.
The Blue and Pink routes head through Mere to Stourhead and Bourton before heading home.
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!
