Saturday club ride : 10th September 2022

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.
