Sunday Club Ride : 24th July 2022

Here is the proposed route for this Sunday. The weather forecast is for some breeze and a possibility of dampness in the afternoon - must be summer!

I've tried to minimise headwinds and there are some new roads to experience.

Saturday Club Ride : 23rd July 2022

Inspired by the Tour de France, there has been a request for a mountain top finish to the Saturday ride. Well, a cafe stop at the top of a bit of a slope anyway.

So, slightly differently this week, but in accordance with discussions at the last AGM, we will finish the club ride at Kewstoke and present the opportunity for a coffee, etc, before heading home. Or if you don't personally want to top up your caffeine, there is the option to end the ride there.

Meet up at Priory School, at 08:30am.

Saturday Club Ride : 16th July 2022

Later than we would normally post a ride, but here is the proposed route for Saturday morning. The ride will be piloted by the club Chairman, lately back from his exploits from Lands End to John O'Groats and than a lot more of Scotland. Just the sort of training that's required for our Saturday ride - probably.

Meet up outside Priory School at 8:30.

Saturday Club Ride : 2nd July 2022

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!

Meet up at 8:30am, outside Priory School

Sunday club ride : 26th June 2022

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.

Cafe stop near Chew Lake

Meet up at 9am outside Priory School.
