A Sunday Ride

[Hedgetrimmer]

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...........

[Frosties]

Could be your last day of it Nick so make the most and have a day out - 100 mile radius fella 


DO IT!

[ChristoT]

If you come up Chatteris way, there are some nice roads in the Fenlands! 

[midden]

I need to be back in London for 6pm but up for a blat

[bri h]

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

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?

[slimwilly]

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

[Hedgetrimmer]

ok, you got an idea of where (apart from just your sister's place) to go/route to ride?

[Dead Eye]

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

[NorthWestern]

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  

[slimwilly]

So anyone and Nick !!!!


11 oclock Gloucester OK !!


Deadeye..Bristol pickup !!!
