With the prospect of typical British summer weather, i.e. breezy and a possibility of rain, here is the proposed route for this week.
I've chosen a route that has generally less potentially muddy roads, given the recent rain, even if there is an element of headwind in the first half. But we should be flying on the way back!

One of the suggestions of the recent ride preference survey was for an occasional shorter ride.
With that in mind and the potential for some sort of dampness, here is a shorter than usual route that can be easily extended to achieve the traditional 50 miles distance by tagging on a loop at the end of the ride.

It's the Glastonbury Music Festival weekend, so the weather is 'unsettled' as is traditional.
The route has been selected to try to reduce the exposure to a potentially strong southerly headwind - we'll see how that goes!

Here is the route for Sunday's club ride. I've tried to find a balance between avoiding potentially muddy lanes, headwinds, etc.

Although the weather forecasts are not unanimous in their prediction for Saturday morning, today the current forecast for tomorrow is reasonable.
So, providing there isn't actually a howling gale at 8:30am, a club ride looks possible. The problematic weather system now looks to arrive later on Saturday evening.

To back up posts on Facebook, we have produced a ride preference survey to help us to better provide rides and routes that the membership want.
Please keep an eye on your email for a link to the survey.
It should take around three minutes to complete, depending on how much you want to add to the comment boxes.
Times are hard and half the year has already gone.
For the first time, we present the Weston Wheelers Summer Sale.
It is not unusual for a membership discount to be given for joiners in the last couple of months of any year, but this year we're going big!
Adult membership now only £7.50 and Seniors (60+) only £5.
Normal renewal on 1st of January.
Contact the Secretary for details.

The C2C2C ride is coming up on Saturday.
However, not everyone is going to fancy it, even with the promise of fish and chips on the Lyme Regis seafront.
So, I plan to put on the usual Saturday and Sunday rides for anyone who want a less arduous ride.
