Sunday Club Ride : 6th September 2020

Here is the route for this Sunday.

Meet up at 9am, outside Priory School.

The Strava route planner is not letting me take the more bike friendly route out of Bristol, so we may execute a short detour from the published route after the café stop to avoid Coronation Rd. Assuming the reason isn't some major change I'm unaware of.

Please bring the route if you have the tech.

SD groups as appropriate.

Saturday Club Ride : 5th September 2020

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

I had intended a variation but there's another road closure to avoid.

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

SD groups if necessary.

Please bring route if you have the tech, but it would take some skill to get lost this close to Weston. Although I dare say it could be done.
