The temperatures are dropping and Saturday is set to be cold with a chilling north westerly. Overnight rain on top of the dampness of the last few days is likely to mean wet roads at times. However it should be dry (and even sunny!) until lunchtime.
All three routes initially head to Maiden Bradley with the White route then going to Horsingham and then across to Witham Friary, North Brewham and Bruton.
The Blue and Pink routes head through the Deverills and the Longleat estate on their way to Frome. The Blue route heads direct to Nunney whilst the Pink adds in a loop through Mells. Both routes then return through Bruton.
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!
