Here is the suggested route for this weeks Wednesday ride, courtesy of Russell M.

The route takes in a couple of small hillocks, not often used by the club. So, come out and enjoy some new climbs (sadly in the dark). Also, enjoy the silence that is currently the norm around the airport.

There might be a small wrinkle on the route somewhere near the first slope, but I will leave that in for interest.

Meet up at 6pm, outside Priory School.

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

Weather forecast is dry and breezy; warmer than recent days but at 8 degrees C, it's not exactly going to be warm still.

There was some road works going on at Lower Langford, but we should be able to walk through if they haven't finished.

Meet up at Priory School, 8:30am.

Looks a decent day Sunday, so why not come along for this Portishead Brockley Coombe route. It’s the reverse of the ride which went down rather well a few Sundays back, and offers the opportunity for coffe at Mokoko Portishead, there’s also a Costa there, and another opportunity at Brockley Fruit Stall.

Rule of 6 applies ....yada, yada, yada.

Meet up outside of Priory School at 09:00

Rule of six etc.

Lockdown v.2 may be ending today, but the pubs remain shut. So what better way to mark the occasion than an evening bike ride?

Meet outside Priory School at 18:00 (Rule of 6 applies)

With winds forecast to be averaging 22 - 24 MPH, gusting to 40 MPH, with a strong likelihood of rain, I'm not proposing to post a ride for this Saturday morning.

Once again, thanks to Lucas for coming up with a cracking route for us. If you enjoyed the coffee at Mokoko Bristol last week, here’s a chance to see how the team at Portishead Mokoko compares.

For the time pressed there is a  “Sans Café” option to get you home a bit earlier.

Rule of 6 applies. If we’ve more on the day we’ll split into groups.

See you outside Priory School at 09:00

Nice easy one this week, and the good news is those fine chaps at the Met office have downgraded their earlier forecast of hail to 40% chance of light rain. So don’t be soft and get your lights on charge - it’ll be fun!

See you outside Priory School at 18:00

I've been paying attention to the weather forecast for this Saturday.

It has been getting steadily worse.

Currently it is forecast for 20+MPH winds gusting to close to 40MPH, and a coin-flip whether it will also be raining.

As I generally use 20MPH as a threshold, I'm not proposing to post a ride for this Saturday - given it's supposed to encourage newcomers to turn out and provide an easier ride for the less strong/fit members.

If anyone fancies leading a ride, please let me know by Friday afternoon , so I can post the route etc.

Thanks to Lucas for this Sundays ride suggestion. A trip to Mokoko via a couple of lumps, then an easy ride back.
