This bank holiday weekend has our usual weekly Saturday rides plus our first Sunday away day of the year which I hope will be a monthly event.
Saturday is to Notgrove with two route options, 34 miles with Alex leading or 27 miles with Martin. Meet at the Pump Rooms at 9 or head straight up to the Rising Sun on Cleeve Hill for 9:35
Sunday is a Forest of Dean circuit from Soudley Ponds car park (What3Words ///organist.trout.clincher) with a cafe stop at Hopewell Colliery near Coleford. It’s just 27 or 24 miles but with up to 22 miles off road it will feel like further. Being the Forest it uses good all weather tracks, I will lead on the longer ride and we will look at speed groups depending on who is there.
We will meet at 9 at Soudley Ponds, I appreciate that means an early start for a Sunday but it’s a popular car park and this will give us the best chance of getting spaces. If we still have an issue there is an alternative free car park in Littledean (///awoke.pesky.villager), the route heads off road half way between the two.
As usual the gpx details are on the calendar, Easter eggs optional.
