Please see below email received from Mike Walsh from the CTC about a ride they are organizing in June from Wimborne
We invite you and your fellow members to join us on one of two free new rides. Maybe an on-road for your juniors. The Reef Rides will take place on the 17th June 2018. Both rides start and finish at the Reef Youth and Community Centre, Colehill Lane, Colehill, Wimborne Dorset BH21 7AB.
There are two rides to choose from the The Half Reef approximately 30 miles or the The Reef approximately 60 miles. Both rides are predominantly on quiet country lanes heading out towards Cranborne and Tisbury respectively.
The Half Reef is a pleasant ride, relatively flatter terrain, suitable for novices, youngsters or those getting back to cycling.
The Reef is a classic route with a few hills for interest.
A route sheet will be provided for your chosen ride and Garmin downloads for both rides are available on WWW.WESSEXCTC.ORG.
There will be no organised refreshment stops or support en-route therefore participants must be self-sufficient in all respects after leaving the centre. The rides do however pass through country villages where refreshments may be available.
Entrants can sign in from 08.30hrs and commence at any time. The event will close at 18.00hrs. Refreshments will be available at the start and finish, all entrants signed in and out on completion will receive a complimentary tea, coffee or cold drink.
The Reef Rides are free to enter; none CTC members are most welcome.
Do cycle safe on whichever ride you choose and enjoy the gift of cycling.
There is ample free parking on site.
The Reef Rides are not a race. Please be courteous to other road users and enjoy these great rides.
Regards
CTC Wessex Cycling
