Wednesday Evening Club Ride : 09 Sep 2020

By popular request, this week's route is an easier jaunt around an old favourite, the Rob Special. Some of us want to spare the legs for a sausage roll in Wales on Friday/Saturday.

Meet up at 6pm, outside Priory School.

Socially distanced groups, etc. So, bring the route on a gadget if you can.

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.

Sunday Club Ride : 23rd August 2020

As per suggested café destination, here is the route for this Sunday. I've tried to avoid as much headwind as possible.

Café stop planned at Sweets.

Meet up at 9am, outside Priory School

We will, again, be observing British Cycling recommended group sizing, i.e. up to six in a group, with staggered starts.

Please bring the route on a fancy electronic gadget if you have one.

Saturday Club Ride ?

At the moment, there is no club ride planned, due to adverse weather conditions.

With 20 - 30 MPH winds forecast, it isn't appropriate to have a club ride that is supposed to be an easier ride and aimed at new riders.

If the situation changes, a route will be posted, but possibly not until Friday evening.

Update: Friday evening.

If anything the weather forecast has got worse. Consistently above 20MPH and a strong possibility of rain on the return leg. So, unfortunately, there is no planned club ride this Saturday.

Wednesday Evening Club Ride : 19th August 2020

This weeks route has been suggested by birthday boy Russ. So why not come and enjoy his suggestion for this weeks route (with minor amendments for road closures) - cake was mentioned, but don't hold your breath.

Meet up at 6pm, outside Priory School
