Who fancies a nice jaunt from Bristol to Weston S Mare then?
Could be a nice ride if we get a group of us together.

Am I being thick, or is there no route on the website?0

From what I can find it's the same as last year.
Out from Long Ashton, through Barrow Gurney, and out to Chew Valley Lakes, Blagdon, UP Burrington Combe, Priddy, Cocklake, Wedmore, Sexy's School, Highbridge, Burnham, Uphill & finally WSM.
Ad then for the really hardcore, ride back to Bristol when done.2012 Cannondale Synapse0 -

I am on Rest Days so can do this! Count me and Mrs Waddlie in...Rules are for fools.0 -
Sounds like fun, count me in :shock:I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.0

I will be on a geared bike - may have to do it in club kit, so may have to show "willing".....but otherwise I would like to hang about with the posse.0

The stuff around the Chew Valley lakes is more taxing. Burrington Combe is just a cruise0 -

Sounds like we have the start of a plan. I'm in assuming I can work out the logistics of getting to Bristol and back to Bath afterwards.

Train to Temple Meads, or MTFU & use the Bristol to Bath cycle path!!!!!!2012 Cannondale Synapse0 -
Having done some research it would appear that this ride loosely follows National Cycle Route 3, before then joining route 33 for the leg back the Weston.2012 Cannondale Synapse0

Having spoken to the organisers the route is something like this.

It does have a bit of a reputation locally. And this is in an area that doesn't fit any cyclists definition of flat.

If it was easy what would the point be????
