At a loose end Tuesday? Don’t waste it watching Hollie and Phil or Homes Under the Hammer, get that bike out and come along for a ride up to Portishead. The weathers not looking bad, “sunny spells and a gentle breeze” say the BBC at the time of writing, and there's the option of a coffee stop at Mokoko.
Meetup point is outside Priory school at 09:30 – everyone’s welcome.

I've been holding back on posting a ride for this Saturday to get a better idea of the potential weather.
Although nothing is certain, it may or may not be damp and it may be breezy. As long as it isn't hosing down, we could be good to go. For anything other than light rain, you might expect a self-navigated ride.

#####NEW FOR AUTUMN 2022######## Ad-hoc Midweek Rides! – Starting Wednesday 12th October 09:30.
It’s amazing how many people seem to be out on their bikes during the week nowadays. Changed working practices, retirements and any number of other reasons mean that no matter what day you ride, you’re never alone. In recognition of that reality, the club is trialling the idea of Ad-hoc Midweek Rides.
The rides will be ad-hoc” in the sense that they’re not scheduled, and may be run on any day of the week - most likely Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. There’ll also be a variety of start times and meet up points. It won’t be every week ( dependant on weather and the availability of a ride leader) but when there is a ride the plan is to publish it on the Saturday before.
We’re looking to have a good mix of routes, short and long, easy and hard, with and without coffee stops. It’s very much a work in progress which may morph into something else or nothing at all – we’ll see
Notice is a bit short for the first one, it’s this Wednesday morning! - sorry about that, but if you do fancy a ride down to Sweets Café, meet up outside the Grand Pier on the seafront at 09:30. Hope to see you there 😊

Here is the route suggestion for the Sunday morning club ride.
The weather is supposed to be better than Saturday - less wind anyway - but there is a possibility of dampness in the first half. The route keeps to the better roads, as the lesser used byways may be muddy currently.
Meet up at 9am, outside Priory School.
Be aware this may be a self-guided ride.

Here is a suggestion of a route for this Saturday. The weather is not promising; strong wind and possibility of rain. But if any hardy souls want to turn out and possibly self navigate some sort of course, here is my best suggestion for a suitable route. The intention would be to limit exposure to headwinds, unless you're going down a slope; failing that you may get some shelter from the high hedges. (Speaking of which, it's hedge trimming season, maybe take a spare inner tube)
Meet up at 8:30 at Priory School

Unfortunately, the Club Secretary has succumbed to minor illness and probably won't be riding this weekend.
There is, therefore, an opportunity for someone to nominate a direction of travel and possibly a stop for the rides(s) this weekend.
If you have something in mind, please let the Secretary know and he will do the necessary admin.
