It’s the last of the regular Wednesday Evening rides this week, ufortunately ( I know, where did that season go! ). So how about a bit of Burrington Combe action?

It’s an open ride, so everyone’s welcome. See you outside Priory School at 18:00 ( and don’t forget your lights! )

Here is the proposed route for this Saturday's club ride.

This week is a new route. Slightly longer than normal but with a mid-ride café stop. It's a game of two halves with a flat run home.

Meet up outside Priory School at 8:30am.

The return leg does include a stretch along the A370, due to the possible closure of Accommodation Rd - although it was open earlier in the week. If we are all in agreement we can take the usual route via Lympsham and be prepared to take the cycle way back into Uphill if the bridge is blocked.

After Draycott last week, something a little easier on the legs is planned for this Wednesday - a flattish ride out to Brent Knoll, with just enough bumps to keep us honest.

It’s an open ride which means everyone’s invited, so hopefully see you outside Priory School at 18:00 ( don’t forget your lights )

Here is the proposed route for this week's Sunday morning club ride.

There's a fair bit of new roads to try. But what could possibly go wrong?

Café stop on the downs. I've tried to avoid riding through Bristol as much as I can, as it has become quite a slow process on the last few occasions.

Meet up at 9am, outside Priory School.

The Autumn is finally upon us folks, which in cycling terms means the start of the Hill Climb season. We may not have a competitive Hill Climb event for you, but what we do have is the annual pilgrimage to THAT hill. Yes, you know the one I’m talking about, the innocuously named “New Road” ….better and more descriptively known as “Draycott Steep”. Should be fun!

Once again it’s on open ride, so everyone’s welcome. See you outside Priory School at 18:00 ( don’t forget your lights! )

I've tried, as much as possible, to keep to less muddy tracks this Sunday; considering the recent rain.

So, here's the route for this week. Slightly longer than usual and fairly untroubled by inclines. But with a possible headwind in some sections, the Dutch Hills will even things out. Cafe stop roughly half way.

Meet up at 9am, outside Priory School

With a predicted hole in wet weather, here is the provisional route for this Saturday morning club ride.

Our usual route south is hampered by a closure of the railway bridge at the end of Accommodation Rd. There is a traffic alternative published by North Somerset Council that I'm a bit dubious of. I will try to check out the section from Uphill to the other side of the railway bridge - that does look like a bridle path. If it's not suitable, i.e. a mud bath, I will amend the route. This will probably be via Uphill Marina along the 'new' cycle path or direct via the A370, which I'm hoping wouldn't be too busy first thing on a Saturday morning.

There is an opportunity for a cafe stop at the end of the ride, although if anyone doesn't fancy it, bailing out at the Ebdon Rd roundabout is an option (you will miss cake though - just saying).

Meet up at 8:30am, outside Priory School

Update. Having had a look at the councils alternative route, I can report it's rubbish.

I'm going to suggest going down the A370 as far as the Lympsham turn and carrying on with the route from there.

An easy pedalling 30 miler around Kingston Seymour and the moors of Kenn and Puxton this week. With autumn now upon us, there’s not many more of these Wednesday evening rides left - so don’t miss out!
