Is it just a ride-to and meet, then go home, or is anyone planning a route from Bourton?
Its a meet so the ride is to there and back groups from near areas organise to ride there in their local groups.

As long as its not insanely early I don't mind - took me just under and hour to get from my front door to Stow-on-the-Wold which is just north of Bourton-on-the-Water (what's with all the hyphenated names around this area ?!)

Depending on what happens, I was going to potentially do a run up Fish Hill as its only a 30 mile round trip from BotW :)

If anybody's interested in a little ride from Bourton, this takes in a nice bit of variation (the bit from Broadway (Fish Hill) to Bourton I don't know, but completes the loop).

I left just before your PM Neil, sorry mate. We thought you'd be coming via all the cafes, so assumed you'd get to Bourton about midnight :lol
Home again with a cuppa, only 20 mins or so for me. Nice to meet everyone again, as always. Sausage and chips were nice :D
Windy on the A429, exposed up on there, but no significant rain.
Parted with red98 on A40 about 3pm. Hope everyone gets home safe.

Unfortunately, we got somewhat soaked about 10-15 miles out of Bristol where it just got worse the closer we got. Ah well, hopefully it will have washed off most of the dirt from the journey up :P
