During these difficult times when we will generally be riding solo we thought it may be helpful for all of us to share routes that we each like riding when we are out by ourselves.
While some smaller sections of the club may already be sharing rides we thought it may be a good idea to start sharing the good ones more widely. The table below provides a link to routes that club members enjoy riding. The link accesses the RideWithGPS website - you do not need to have signed up, the routes are freely accessible via these links and can be easily downloaded on a PC or Mac by clicking the "More" button on the right (it is possible to do it on iOS and Android too, but it can be a bit more fiddly). If you do not have a GPS computer then there is an option to print the route as well.
