Hmmm, weather looks half decent in the south this Sunday, got any plans for going for a ride?
I can't decide whether to just potter around locally, or go a bit further afield. South west seems to be best chance of some sunshine. Where's that road atlas...........
-
Could be your last day of it Nick so make the most and have a day out - 100 mile radius fella :D
DO IT!
-
If you come up Chatteris way, there are some nice roads in the Fenlands! :D
-
I need to be back in London for 6pm but up for a blat :)
-
im doing the reading toy run. more of a crawl than a blat.

-

Yes, 100 miles should get me to the start point for the ride - but what route from there?...... :lol

WTF?!

No idea - what would you suggest? As said, more chance of sunshine south-west, but don't know the area. No rain anywhere much so that's a bonus. Small roads covered in farm shit, so probably more A road-type route. Early-ish start from here, maybe leave at 8am to go.....where?

Cheddar area sounds good - not familiar with it - good roads? Gloucester sounds like the place to meet for that, but where exactly? I'd probably go straight along the A40 to get there. Cafes, McD's (aaargh, there, I've said it!), a hot food stop to kick off?
On the other hand, I don't mind a ride up to Leominster, A44 is enjoyable. What've you got round your way?
-
How about A417..come on round Gloucester on A40 and turn for town center A417,, you come to Westgate roundabout first,,there is a Texaco garage on the side ,,how about there for 11 o.clock.. look on maps, Westgate st
-
ok, you got an idea of where (apart from just your sister's place) to go/route to ride?
-
Cheddar has some interesting roads, just go careful this time of year as its typically damp and the roads can get a little slippery ;)
Most of the roads around that area aren't half bad, including the A368 that goes past Blagdon Lake and the Chew Valley Reservoir. If you go through Cheddar, the A371 to Wells isn't too bad either - bit more fast paced but you're more likely to hit traffic - especially on a Sunday before Christmas :P
-
Just had the butler draw the drapes. Seems that its raining despite "Accuweather" telling me all week that Sunday would be dry and sunny. I was hoping to go for a run on it to Devils Bridge in the dry - I have now done over 1500 miles on it all in the wet :(
-
So anyone and Nick !!!!
11 oclock Gloucester OK !! :)
Deadeye..Bristol pickup !!!
-
Mobile's down, bugger.
On way shortly, see you there Bill, anyone else.
Texaco garage, Westgate Street, Gloucester, 11am.
PM'd you Bill.
-
ok, 45 minutes for me, see you there,,oh and B King and M D's down road too :lol
-
If you get close to Bristol, let me know and I'll join you :) Nick has my number... but that seems kind of useless at the moment :P

Sorry Liam, didn't see this post. Next time!
-
We passed through Brissol :lol , out by the Airport ,,damn,if Macdonalds wifi was easier i would of seen your post too.
You missed an oppertunity to have a good little ride and a Latte coffee in Cheddar gorge
-
That's fine, didn't stop me from heading out ^^
Took a ride out and mistakenly ended up on the wrong road back to Bristol - was going to head up the A38 past the Airport (going North) and the head East through Chew Valley, but it was still a good ride - didn't accumulate your sort of mileage though :P
-
So what happend? Did anyone meet up for a wee blast?
-
im doing the reading toy run. more of a crawl than a blat.
I live along the route, but alas, was busy when it started :( How was it?
-
Yes, me and Nick met at Gloucester and rode the A38 down to Bristol,a bit of M5 and back onto the A38 to Cheddar,had a nose around,cup of coffee,lots of bikes down there in the gorge,cafes,tourist shops open,lots of folks about,,then rode down to M5 and back to Gloucester,just to get as close to home as possible in daylight.
Roads mostly damp,careful at roundabouts but riding was fine, bikes got dirty but it washes off. :)
A fine ride out considering it was December the 8th.Not winter yet :)
