This is a super backstreet cafe in Chard which we have not visited much during the past few years. The ride distance is just over 41 miles, although around 11 will be on The Stopline Way path between Ilminster and Chard, which is easy riding. The outward route will be via Stoke St. Mary, Slough Green, Curland, past Broadway onto Horton to Crock Street and down to cross the A358 to join the Stopline Way to Chard, arriving at around 12.15 for brunch or coffee and cake. The return route will follow the Stopline Way to Ilminster where we rejoin the road through to Dillington House, Ilford, Isle Abbots, Curry Mallet and down Rock Hill, then onto North Curry, returning to Taunton, via 13 Bends, Ham and Creech St. Michael. Remember to bring a spare inner tube, waterproofs, water, and snack etc. Link for ride - https://ridewithgps.com/trips/38705959 (Not via Dillington House) Ride leader - Ian B Mobile. 07715286084 ianbright91@outlook.com

Dear Ladies Unfortunately due to very bad weather and weather warnings in force, the final ladies ride of the season to Langport last Saturday didn’t take place. However, I will have another go at leading this and hope that the weather will be kinder.     I thought it was better not to go for this coming Saturday (2nd November) as its the rugby final with England playing and I thought lots of your would want to watch that, and also its half term so maybe some of you would be away/coming home from a week away. Best wishes Joanne Meet: 10 a.m Brewhouse A leisurely ride out to Langport - a there and back ride unless anyone is confident of the route back via Muchenley etc. Approx 33 miles, via 13 bends, North Curry, Stathe.  Not very hilly. Coffee at Bridge Canteen. Leader: Joanne

Last Ladies' Ride: Unfortunately the weather forecast is now 100% chance of rain for tomorrow, Saturday 9th November - so this will now be an Ad Hoc ride. Anyone wishing to turn up at the Brewhouse for 10am can decide whether and where to ride. I wont be there if it is raining! I will try again to do the last official ride next Saturday, the 16th, 10am, Brewhouse, ride to Langport and back. Let's hope, this time, it will be third time lucky with the weather! Best wishes, ride leader, Joanne
