A dry and mild Saturday without a gale force wind! But is it warm enough to get the knees out? Three routes as usual. The White and Blue routes head to Kings Stag where the White route takes a right turn and heads for Sherborne, whilst the Blue route continues to Buckland Newton and then onto Yetminster before Sherborne.
The Pink route heads to Piddletrenthide and over to Cerne Abbas, also on the way to Yetminster and Sherborne. All the routes then pass through Templecombe on the way back to Gillingham.
The rides all end at the Old Brewery Cafe and Kitchen for coffee, cake, or brunch.
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!
Also, a reminder that if you haven’t paid your membership fees they are due now!
