There may be some blue sky on Saturday after the grey of the last week. Autumn is definitely here with falling leaves and cooler temperatures.
The Blue and Pink routes make their way from Gillingham to the Tarrant valley and past Tarrant Rushton airfield to Witchampton. The Pinks find a few extra kms before rejoining the Blues in Wimborne St Giles and hopefully enjoying a tailwind back to Shaftesbury and Gillingham.
The White route heads to Marnhull, Sturminster, Steepleton Bends, Sutton Hill, Ashmore and Luwell before heading home through Shaftesbury.
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!
Remember the AGM is on Thursday 13th November at 7.15 pm at North Dorset RFC!
