Saturday club ride : 31st August 2024
Here is a route for Saturday morning - some may notice it's a repost of last weeks ride that was washed out.
Although the roads should now be dry, the route is a short-ish, mostly flat track on usually good roads.
If there's a call for a cafe stop, there is an opportunity at the Uphill end on the way back.
Start time 8:30am, outside Priory School

Saturday Club Ride : 24th August 2024
Here is a route for Saturday morning - more in optimism than expectation, given the weather forecast.
The route is a short-ish, mostly flat track on usually good roads.
If there's a call for a cafe stop, there is an opportunity at the Uphill end on the way back.
If it's not actually raining around the 8:30am start time, we could give it a go. Otherwise it will be the pain cave again.
Nominal start time 8:30am, outside Priory School

Wednesday Club Ride : 14th August 2024
Here's a route for this Wednesday evening - hopefully it won't be too warm.
The route uses the new path to Kingston Seymour; I rode it tonight and much of the loose gravel has been washed off now so the surface is better. Still a few patches though, so take care on the corners.
6pm start at Priory this week.
The route goes back on the A370 through Hewish if anyone fancies a post pedalling pint at the Full Quart.
