Two routes for this Saturday’s Bruton Cycling Club social ride over Mere Down Loop. Meet at Hive Bruton 08:45 for 09:15 depart, for the longer route and 09:30 grand depart for the shorter ride.

The routes are very similar with the longer 67km route taking in Gare Hill as well as the Drurly climb. The shorter route is 55km, with 650mtrs of climbing. Both routes will head out up Drurly, with the longer ride group leaving “The Hive” 15 minutes ahead of the shorter route group, as they have 12km to make up. We then head down to “The Deverill’s” via Maiden Bradley then head up Mere Down and back up to the top of Drurly via Stourhead. Coffee stop at HillBrush, Mere which should get us back in Bruton by around 12:30/13:00.
