Maintenance Morning at Graham's House (Ladies Ride)
09:00 – 14:00
Graham has kindly offered to lead a maintenance morning at his house - Dales Farm, Mere Green, Taunton TA3 6HX. This will mainly involve puncture repair and is aimed at anyone who doesn't feel confident with changing an inner tube. Please make sure to bring a spare inner tube with you and be prepared to take a wheel off and change the tube. The morning starts at 10am, hence the earlier time of 9am to start the ride.
