Purple Spoon, Bridgwater
Vivary Park Bandstand
09:30 – 14:00
This ride will be faster than normal and I will aim for a brisk average speed of 11-13mph. That said no one will be left behind to fend for themselves. The ride was originally publicised rather late on Monday for Tuesday, but beause this has not given folk much time I am republicising for Thursday when the weather forecast is more favaourable.
