Sunday Club Ride : 25th June 2023

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

We are exploring new territory this week. I frequently ask the membership for ideas of where we might aim to ride to. This week we have a collaboration in route planning; mainly Teppo with some changes by myself to account for group riding.

The route is a little longer than normal, but it isn't overly onerous in terms of climbing. Most of the roads are familiar to the club but there is some new roads - although these seem fairly well used on Strava.

There is a suggested café stop at Somerton on route - The Buttercross Tea Room. It should be easy to spot in the heart of Somerton and there's plenty of space to park bikes. An alternative would be The Courtyard Cafe on an adjacent road.

As a disclaimer I should state I am unable to ride the route on Sunday myself - which isn't generally how I would like it.
