Saturday Club Ride : 15th October 2022

I've been holding back on posting a ride for this Saturday to get a better idea of the potential weather.

Although nothing is certain, it may or may not be damp and it may be breezy. As long as it isn't hosing down, we could be good to go. For anything other than light rain, you might expect a self-navigated ride.

Meet up at 8:30am, outside Priory School

Sunday Club Ride : 2nd October

Here is the route suggestion for the Sunday morning club ride.

The weather is supposed to be better than Saturday - less wind anyway - but there is a possibility of dampness in the first half. The route keeps to the better roads, as the lesser used byways may be muddy currently.

Meet up at 9am, outside Priory School.

Be aware this may be a self-guided ride.

Saturday Club Ride : 1st October 2022

Here is a suggestion of a route for this Saturday. The weather is not promising; strong wind and possibility of rain. But if any hardy souls want to turn out and possibly self navigate some sort of course, here is my best suggestion for a suitable route. The intention would be to limit exposure to headwinds, unless you're going down a slope; failing that you may get some shelter from the high hedges. (Speaking of which, it's hedge trimming season, maybe take a spare inner tube)

Meet up at 8:30 at Priory School

Weekend Club Rides ?

Unfortunately, the Club Secretary has succumbed to minor illness and probably won't be riding this weekend.

There is, therefore, an opportunity for someone to nominate a direction of travel and possibly a stop for the rides(s) this weekend.

If you have something in mind, please let the Secretary know and he will do the necessary admin.

Sunday Club Ride : 25th September 2022

Saturday Club Ride : 24th September 2022

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

This week is a new route. Slightly longer than normal but with a mid-ride café stop. It's a game of two halves with a flat run home.

Meet up outside Priory School at 8:30am.

The return leg does include a stretch along the A370, due to the possible closure of Accommodation Rd - although it was open earlier in the week. If we are all in agreement we can take the usual route via Lympsham and be prepared to take the cycle way back into Uphill if the bridge is blocked.

Sunday Club Ride : 18th September 2022

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

There's a fair bit of new roads to try. But what could possibly go wrong?

Café stop on the downs. I've tried to avoid riding through Bristol as much as I can, as it has become quite a slow process on the last few occasions.

Meet up at 9am, outside Priory School.
