Sunday Club Ride : 3rd September 2023

Here is the route for this week's Sunday club ride. Café stop at Wookey Hub.

I think the route avoids most of the potentially muddy roads due to the recent rainfall.

Meet up at 9am, outside Priory School.

Saturday Club Ride : 2nd September 2023

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

There is a risk of some rain early on, but less than 30% probability apparently. So, fingers crossed.

As usual, this ride is at an 'introductory' level. Possibly more 'introductory' than most weeks, with very little in the way of inclines.

Meet up at 8:30am, outside Priory School.

Wednesday Evening Club Ride : 30th August 2023

Here is this week's Wednesday evening route, courtesy of Kev P.

Meet up at the Southern end of the Prom, at 6pm.

It is starting to get dark around towards the end of the ride, so I'd recommend lights of some sort.

Sunday Club Ride : 27th August 2023

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

Meet up at 9am, outside Priory School.

At the risk of confusing things. If you live in town and want a lay-in, feel free to join along the route somewhere. Maybe at the layby just past the Bleadon Hill turn on the A370 - I'd guess around 9:25-ish, but perhaps make your own calculation. I wouldn't anticipate the group 'stopping' at the layby but hoovering up anyone loitering there.

(Full disclosure : I'm not sure if I will be there myself, I won't know until Saturday afternoon.)
