Although Saturday should be dry and sunny again, it will be very cold with a strong north westerly wind blowing.
All three routes head to Maiden Bradley with the White route continuing to Crockerton and then through Corsley Heath to Frome. The return is through Nunney, the two Brehams and past Hunters Lodge.
The Blue and Pink routes take slightly different roads through the Deverills from Maiden Bradley, and onto Warminster and then to Frome. The routes diverge again until Nunney where they join the White route for the tailwind home.
Its a 9.00 am start, meet 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!
