Saturday Club Ride : 3rd February 2024

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

The weather forecast is a bit up and down and doesn't look too good at the moment, but for any interested parties, there is a route below.

Meet up at 8:30am, outside Priory School. Anyone based in town is welcome to join along the way - I might suggest making this known on our socials if you plan on doing this.

If the wind direction is as forecast, there should be a nice push towards Loxton from Berrow.

Saturday route – 20th Jan 2024

This isn't the standard Saturday club ride, but with the road conditions as they are, or may be, some of the club members are intending to ride the route below; subject to cancellation if the roads look dodgy.

Meeting up slightly later at 9am, outside Priory School

There may be a cafe stop near Westhay.

There is also some uncertainty about Pill road heading towards Rooksbridge on the return leg. I believe it should be open, but there are roadworks scheduled along there soon.

The route is 70km, but with option to turn back at Riverbridge to knock 10km off that and also turning back at Mark to reduce the ride to 50km.

I don't want to labour the point, but this is a 'member' ride and not a 'club' ride. Participants need to be happy to ride with whatever road conditions are found.
