Meet from 10.30am at Cats Cafe, for coffee. Rolling out at 11am, to reduce ice risk. I have put TWO strava routes down for this ride. Both go out via Sunnyhill, Shepton Montague, but there is then a choice of back lanes or main road to Milborne Port & A30 through Crackmoor Rocks into Sherborne for refuel/warm up at Bean Shot Sherborne.

Return route either via Oborne Valley, Sigwells, old A303 and retracing the outward leg of the back roads route, or take the main road to Marston Magna, Queen Camel and up through Galhampton back to Bruton.

55km with 817m elevation backlanes, 52km with 682m elevation on main road route, steady and likely to be one pack due to riding conditions. Please download both routes to your GPS so the massed riders can decide the best option for the road conditions and in case of mechanicals etc
