WAYFARER RIDES - 1st September to 31st December 2008
Here are the Wayfarer runs for the autumn period. The list shows both a starting point and the intended cafe stop. There will always be a club member at the start point to lead the ride. The cafe stop is usually between 11:00 and 11:30. Most rides get back to Radstock by around 14:00. The mixed weather this summer meant that some of the rides did not take place, eg the Bristol/Bath cycle path ride. However the joint ride with the Somer Valley Wheels group to Cranmore was a great success and rides generally were well attended. All the Wayfarers rides are social events and everyone is welcome. If you prefer or want a shorter ride, you can join us at another point on the route. If you would like more details you can contact me on 01761 415612. If you leave a message I will get back to you as soon as possible. If you would prefer to receive this quarterly rides list by email, please confirm your email address by contacting me at svccwayfarers@gmail.com We look forward to seeing you this autumn.
