Wednesday Evening Club Ride : 16th April 2024

Here is the proposed route for this weeks Wednesday evening club ride.

A few lumpy bits but nothing major this week. The best I can offer weather wise is that it'll (probably!) be better than Monday.

Meet up at 6pm at the south end of the prom.

Saturday Club Ride : 13th April 2024

Here is the proposed route for this Saturday's club group ride.

There is an option for a cafe stop towards the end of the ride. But if anyone is in a hurry it's close enough to bail out.

Meet up at 8:30am, outside Priory School

Just a reminder that this is aimed at a beginner level ride. The idea is to encourage riders of all standards to come out and try a group ride.

As with all our rides, this is a no-drop event and no minimum speed is expected. The group will go at a pace that everyone can manage.

Wednesday Evening Club Ride : 10th April 2024

Here's the route for this week's Wednesday ride - a slightly shorter ride again but it does include Cleeve Hill.

The weather forecast isn't promising, but the route should at least give a tailwind back from Sandford.

Meet up at Priory School, 6pm.

Saturday Club Ride : 6th April 2024

Here is a suggestion for a route for Saturday morning.

I'm not entirely convinced that, given the weather conditions, there will be many takers. Although there isn't rain forecast, there's quite a strong breeze/wind 'promised'. But if I were to be going out, this is a route I might consider.

I have tried to minimise exposure to headwinds and make the most of any tail winds. There is a fairly short stretch I'm not sure about, along Iwood Lane. I haven't ridden it in a while and is 'can' be muddy sometimes - but as we'll all have mudguards, it's all good, I imagine.

Anyone up for a ride, meet up at 8:30am, outside Priory School

Wednesday Evening Club Ride : 3rd April 2024

Back by popular demand, here is Kev's route for the first Wednesday evening ride of the year.

Meet up at the southern end of the prom at 6pm.

"Slightly shorter route to start off, and it goes back into Weston through Worle so there's a chance to drop off there if preferred. We should be back in daylight, but bring lights just in case."
