Saturday Club Ride : 6th August 2022

This week we have a guest ride leader to coordinate the Saturday ride.

Thank to Si for stepping up to the plate.

The ride is a little longer than the usual distance for a Saturday ride, but there's the opportunity for a coffee around the half way point to recharge for the second half.

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

Saturday Club Ride – Ride Leader Needed

Saturday Club Ride - Ride Leader needed.

It's generally an unofficial post, but we need someone to act as the Ride Leader for this Saturday.

The usual navigator will be away this week, so won't be riding.

If a club member is prepared to turn up, have the route and keep an eye on participants, let me know where you want to go and I will post the route, etc. I had been thinking of a route including a cafe stop near Mark, but that's just one possibility.

Wednesday Evening Ride: August 3rd 2022

A nice easy potter around the lanes is planned this week. If the “Feature Climbs” of previous Wednesdays have been putting you off, this one could be for you.

Once more it’s an open ride, so everyone’s welcome. See you outside priory school at 18:00

Wednesday Evening Ride: 27th July 2022

Once more conditions are looking great for the Wednesday ride; warm, light winds and next to no chance of rain, say the BBC - perfect in fact for a little up and over of the Mendip hills. Don’t worry about the climbing, we’re taking the relatively easy Shipham/Longbottom way up, and coming down via Burrington Combe which is arguably the best descent.

Once more it’s an open ride which means everyone’s welcome. See you outside Priory at 18:00

Sunday Club Ride : 24th July 2022

Here is the proposed route for this Sunday. The weather forecast is for some breeze and a possibility of dampness in the afternoon - must be summer!

I've tried to minimise headwinds and there are some new roads to experience.

Meet up at 9am, outside Priory School. Cafe stop near Chew.
