Sunday Club Ride : 7th July 2019

The Wheelers Welsh Experience.

This is the first in a series of new rides and events we are trying out in order to expand the variety of our rides.

This ride will take us up the iconic 'Tumble' in Wales - although there is an option to pass on the climb if you don't fancy it. Those not going up the Tumble, will have to make do with a cake stop instead; missing out on the ice cream on the Tumble.

The ride is possibly a little longer than most members are regularly used to, but with the support of the group, regular Sunday club riders should have no problem.

We will meet up at Aust, near the Severn Bridge. And, for the keen, there may be an option to ride up from Weston. See the Facebook page for updates on this.

Note: for members that may not have the time for this extended ride, there may be an option for a standard Sunday ride - see the Facebook group.
