Whilst the forecast for Saturday has taken a turn for the worse, it may yet change again!
All three routes head to Bruton with the Blue and White routes then passing Catle Cary. The Whites head south though South Barrow and Sparkford on the way to Marston Magna before turning for home. The route goes through Sandford Orcas, Stowell and Templedoom on the way back to Gillingham.
The Blue route continues west to Kingweston where it turns south heading to Ilchester and Mudford before rejoining the White route before Stowell.
After Bruton the Pink route goes to Ditcheat, Coxbridge and Baltonsborough and loops around Butleigh on the way to Ilchester from where they follow a similar route home as the Blues.
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!
