    Can't this week, sadly.

    Would be up for beer/ride/curry/whatever on Tuesday 6th if anyone can make it though?

    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    So - Tues 6th - in town for a curry, or Saltford for booze (and possibly food)?

    Saltford but if we want food, don't do the Jolly Sailor. A friend was there for a meal recently and the 'freshly cooked' chicken curry had 4 pieces of chicken in it and the naan breads were the same as supermarket curry naans. Not freshly cooked atall.
    Don't mind which pub we visit tbh, Dolphin sounds good again :lol:

    Aye, Dolphin would be good. Or maybe the place in Saltford you can see from the path. Name escapes me. Footie match on that day, mind.

    Yup, should be just about possible!

    If not, I'll see you there :)

    I'd skip out of the Dolphin though, I'm far too unfit atm, have had a couple of weeks off the bike and running too as I walked my legs off on holiday.

    That pub is pretty large and pretty busy anyway so I expect there will be room somewhere. :)
    Won't be able to get there until about 8.30. If you guys decide to ride back before then drop me a line.

    I'll be joining the cycle path somewhere around Staple Hill I expect as I live in Stoke Gifford, so if you guys don't pass me en-route, I'll meet you all there.

    I always used to get on the path from St Phillips - but I'll be coming from up Aztec West so think I'm best joining at Fishponds/Easton - where's the easiest entry point assuming I'm coming from Muller Rd?

    Maybe I should meet you on the way, Mark?

    Straight down the Bradley Stoke Way from Aztec West & up the ring road part of the cycle path. Do you know where Esporta is in Stoke Gifford?

    From Muller Rd, cross under the M32 and back up the other side. Left at the roundabout, right down Royate Hill and there's a couple of access points there. Have a look at the online map on the Sustrans website for more info...

    [Edited to add - do what Mark said; much sensibler!]

    Redvee - think it's just you and me meeting at the end of the path - please bring the slow bike!

    Esporta? No, don't know it, but have found it on a map. Is it possible to cycle along Hunts Ground Rd from the Parkway side? The Gypsy Patch Ln / Winterbourne Rd route seems OK too if not...

    6pm?

    Sure is, through Parkway & Esporta is on your left

    6pm sounds prefect, by the Huntsground Road side,

    Done!

    Will be in a very lurid T shirt with Team GB lycra colours poking out from under my overshorts (NO WAY brave enough to wear them uncovered), should be hard to miss ;)

    Regardless of wether I bring the fast bike or slow bike it will be a slow rider on them :lol: Won't you be on the new Womblebike?

    Looks like a rendezvous at Mangotsfield station at around 18:45 which means a very sloooowww ride from the centre of town.

    I wouldn't worry about it, just go at your happy-pace...

    I was exhausted last time as I couldn't let myself pootle and reserve energy because you lot were already slowing down for me - seriously tonight if I'm falling behind, just let me fall behind... :)
