Saturday Club Ride : 13th April 2024
Here is the proposed route for this Saturday's club group ride.
There is an option for a cafe stop towards the end of the ride. But if anyone is in a hurry it's close enough to bail out.
Meet up at 8:30am, outside Priory School
Just a reminder that this is aimed at a beginner level ride. The idea is to encourage riders of all standards to come out and try a group ride.
As with all our rides, this is a no-drop event and no minimum speed is expected. The group will go at a pace that everyone can manage.

Wednesday Evening Club Ride : 10th April 2024
Here's the route for this week's Wednesday ride - a slightly shorter ride again but it does include Cleeve Hill.
The weather forecast isn't promising, but the route should at least give a tailwind back from Sandford.
Meet up at Priory School, 6pm.

Saturday Club Ride : 6th April 2024
Here is a suggestion for a route for Saturday morning.
I'm not entirely convinced that, given the weather conditions, there will be many takers. Although there isn't rain forecast, there's quite a strong breeze/wind 'promised'. But if I were to be going out, this is a route I might consider.
I have tried to minimise exposure to headwinds and make the most of any tail winds. There is a fairly short stretch I'm not sure about, along Iwood Lane. I haven't ridden it in a while and is 'can' be muddy sometimes - but as we'll all have mudguards, it's all good, I imagine.
Anyone up for a ride, meet up at 8:30am, outside Priory School
