Sunday Club Ride : 17th September 2017

This week's guest route master, Katie, has produced a course to Bristol and the Downs. There is a half-marathon on this Sunday, but the route should avoid road closures. There promises to be a gentle tailwind on the way back and the route has plenty of opportunity to peel off, if you are rushed for time but just want some company for a while. 9am from Priory School. https://www.strava.com/routes/10573917
Total distance: 59.28 mi
Max elevation: 537 ft
