Wednesday Club Ride : 14th August 2024

Here's a route for this Wednesday evening - hopefully it won't be too warm.

The route uses the new path to Kingston Seymour; I rode it tonight and much of the loose gravel has been washed off now so the surface is better. Still a few patches though, so take care on the corners.


6pm start at Priory this week.


The route goes back on the A370 through Hewish if anyone fancies a post pedalling pint at the Full Quart.

Saturday Club Ride : 10th August 2024

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

Meet up at 8:30am, outside Priory School

No cafe stop planned, unless we're all keen to try the cafe in Wrington

I'm conscious that the current weather forecast suggests rain around early on Saturday. If it's hosing down, it might be a lonely ride.

Saturday Club Ride : 27th July 2024

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

No cafe stop planned this week, due mainly to the possibility, fairly small possibility, of rain being around in the morning.

I'd mention that the Saturday morning rides are supposed to be at an 'Introductory' level and the group should be prepared to go at the pace of the slowest participant. Having said that, there is no problem with individuals attempting a PB on any Strava segments that present themselves - bear in mind that you should have the route with you, if you are going off the front, as the group won't come searching for you.

Meet up at 8:30am, outside Priory School
