Ladies ad hoc ride
10:00 – 12:00
Due to weather conditions route will be decided on the day. It will be no more than 20 miles and certainly less if weather is not favourable.
Probably ending up at Skittles or Avery garden centre so as to be near home at the end.
If weather is very wet we will go direct to nearest venue.
