Wednesday Evening Ride: 8th June 2022

A long descent from Longbottom up on the Mendips, pretty much all the way back to Sandford is the main feature of this week’s ride – so why not come along and give those little springs in your freehub a workout!  I’m sure there must be a climb in there somewhere, but seriously, these are the Mendips not the Alps – how hard can it be?

Once more it’s an open ride this week, so everyone’s welcome. See you outside Priory School at 18:00

Saturday Club Ride ?

I'm still consulting the various weather outlets for Saturday's weather.

It doesn't seem too promising at the moment.

I will post something by Friday when the accuracy of the forecast is hopefully better. Although I think sunny and windless is unlikely.

Wednesday Evening Ride: 1st June 2022

After a couple of easier weeks, I’ve been inundated with requests for something a bit tastier ( honest! ). So this weeks route includes a feature climb: Nash Hill!!

Actually, it’s not that bad – a bit steep, but not for long, and the rest of the route is pretty flat.

It’s an open ride, which means everyone's welcome to come along – so hopefully see you outside Priory school at 18:00

Wednesday Evening Ride: 25th May 2022

This weeks Wednesday ride is the not too hilly and not too flat “Goldilocks” route, a loop out to Mark and back via Chapel Allerton and Loxton. We were going to ride it a few weeks back, but it didn’t really happen because of 45mph winds on the night – with a bit of luck it’ll be second time lucky!


It’s an open ride, so everyone’s welcome. Hopefully see you outside Priory at 18:00
