This Saturday looks to be sunny and cooler than recently with a gentle north easterly wind.
There are 3 routes on offer and both the Blues and Pinks head towards Glastonbury. The Blues go past Middlewich Farm shop & Cafe so can stop there for beverages and victuals if they desire. The Pink route could also stop there if they want but would need to turn off at 49km coming in to Glastonbury.
The White group head to Sparkford and could either stop at Haynes Motor Museum or Chapel Tearooms
Meet at 9.00 am at 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!
Pink Route: 103 km, 751 m elevation – est speed 28 kmh+ / 17.5 mph +
Blue Route: 95 km, 624 m elevation– est speed 24 kmh / 15 mph
