Saturday finally looks like it will be warm and sunny, though a little breezy. All three routes make their way to Wincanton, Castle Cary and Ditcheat. The White route then heads east to Bruton and Druly Hill and home via Stourhead and Milton on Stour.
The Blue route continues on to Shepton Mallet and then to Nunney before returning via Gare Hill, whilst the Pink route heads to the Mendip Inn, Holcombe and Vobster prior to rejoining the Blue route at Nunney.
The rides 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!
