Here is the route for this Saturday's club group ride. It's not the usual way we'd get to Watchfield, but Pill Rd is still closed. We can have a chat on the day to decide if we want to try to get around the road closure between Rooksbridge and Mark. I have done it and I know others have done it, but there is always a finite possibility that it might really be impassable. I'm expecting the road towards the Webbington should be OK. It can be a bit mucky after a lot of rain.

Café stop at Watchfield.

Meet up at 8:30am, outside Priory School.

I will just mention again that this an introductory level ride.

With the expectation of a rain free ride and a lot less wind than of late, here is the route for this Saturday morning. It's probably worth missing out the frequently used Nailsea side of Kenn Moor, as it might still be wet from Friday rain, and it can be a bit muddy on unavoidable sections of it.

Meet up at 8:30am, outside Priory School.

Note : Just to reiterate that Saturday morning club group rides are at an 'introductory' level. Anyone and everyone is welcome, there is no performance expectation and we will wait for everyone. Feel free to smash through a segment and we'll just reform at the next junction or top of slope. As long as participants are confident of completing the distance, come along.

Here is the proposed route for this Saturday morning's club group ride. There are still some roadworks going on along Pill Rd, which may, or may not, be navigable, but it may be worth avoiding this week.

There is the possibility of a café stop on the return leg at Bleadon.

Meet up at 8:30am, outside Priory School.

Note : These Saturday morning rides are intended to be at an introductory level. So, we are looking to go around in a group with no particular expectation of ability or speed and no one will be left behind.

Here is a suggestion for the route for Sunday's club ride. Without a ride leader currently, this may be a self-guided ride.

If you're keen, meet up at 9am, outside Priory School

There is a significant doubt over the weather on Saturday, but here is a route I would suggest for this week. It's shorter than normal due to the uncertainty the continued closure of the road between Mark and Rooksbridge (Pill Rd). I had hoped to check it out this week but my winter bike is off the road until spare parts arrive.

Meet up at 8:30am, outside Priory School.

Note : Saturday rides are at an 'introductory' level. Anyone is welcome to join and there is no expectation of any standard. However, and consequently, if the weather is bad, and you really do want to ride 'whatever', you can expect to self-navigate (particularly as my alternative bike does not generally see the rain).

Here is a suggestion for the club group ride on Sunday. There is currently no nominated ride leader, so be prepared to self-navigate.

There may still be some breeze about, but a lot calmer than Saturday and no rain forecast. Although there is no guarantee, most of the roads should be expected to be OK, the overnight rain may result in some damp conditions along the way.
