Here is the route for the penultimate ride of 2021.

Meet up at 9am, outside Priory School.

It is worth mentioning that there are a lot of active road works at the moment, so there is an outside chance of a detour. Also, there are a lot of muddy roads around - often in places you might not expect.

N.B. The intention is to have a club ride on the 26th of December (weather dependent), but possibly shorter than usual, for anyone interested in burning up some of the potential excess calories from Christmas day, but wanting to be home for lunchtime; probably without a café stop.

This will be the last Saturday club ride of 2021.

(I doubt there will be too much interest on the 25th!)

Here is the proposed route for this week.

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

Although the previously forecast AM rain is no longer a thing, there has been consistently high winds forecast for Saturday morning.

With average wind speeds of over twenty MPH gusting to near forty MPH.

So, unfortunately, we don't propose to post a club ride.

However, if club member is definitely up for a ride on Saturday morning and would like to lead a club ride.

Feel free to suggest a route and the Secretary will do the necessary admin to publish it.

We have a shorter route this week. Everything's reduced for Black Friday!

The forecast for Sunday is for a moderate breeze and sun! Although it's not exactly toasty out there with the wind coming from the north. But it's got to be better than a turbo trainer.

I've tried to minimise our exposure to headwinds and avoid potentially muddy roads - let's see how that goes.

Café stop near Chew Valley Lake.

Meet up at 9am, outside Priory School.

If anyone is desperate to reach the 50 mile point, I will probably tag an extra loop onto the end of the ride, around the coast road and Sand Bay; for me that's about 15 miles / 24 km.
