CTC WESSEX
A member group of the CTC
for the best Cycletouring in Dorset, South Wiltshire, Somerset and the New Forest
Winter (20 miles) and build up gradually to longer rides in Summer (50 miles). We stop for lunch at a café or pub; during British Summer Time, we usually bring picnics but there is often a café near the lunch stop. You can ride to the meeting place for added mileage or drive all/part way.
We welcome newcomers who consider that they can cope with the mileage – no one gets left behind! Give us a call beforehand so that we can look out for you.

Group Best Practice for Safe Cycling
Plan to be self-sufficient in case of the unexpected!
Bring a map of the area, wet/cold weather clothing and something to eat and drink. Also a
basic tool kit including  spare inner tube, puncture repair outfit and pump.
The rides are free but you will be asked to join the CTC after your 5th ride (visit www.ctc.org.uk).
Cyclists must be self-sufficient; no liabilities can be accepted; formal registration by the Criminal Records Bureau has not been sought, so vulnerable adults and unaccompanied children cannot be accepted on our rides.
