Sorry John,Yep lets go for a ten o'clock start give us time to get there.
Create centre BS16XN Smeaton Road.
Last time I parked in Ashton Vale road BS3 2HT or there abouts.

There's a nice free car park opposite (to the side) of the Nova Scotia to. Anyone actually cycling down from Bradley Stoke though? I'm sort of tempted and then remember some of the hills after Cheddar so I'm probably more likely to drive there...

@John - there's a couple of really steep (but short) climbs so the big cassette's not such a bad idea

@Nick - I'll be cycling down from Bradley Stoke, possibly Mark Waggoner too, we had planned on cycling down the first time, leaving BS about 9am.

@Mark W - do you still fancy cycling down ?

which way you guys going ? .... could meet you part way.

Well it's just me at the mo' going as the crow flies ie Gloucester Road down to Cheltenham Arches, up Cotham Brow, through Cotham and Kingsdown to the bottom of St Michaels Hill, down Colston Street, along Frog Lane (avoiding the cobbles on the Centre) past the Hatchet, onto Deanery Road and then Hotwell Road - Route

interesting .... I'd have gone kellaway, whiteladies, jacobs wells .....

Ah yes John but Gary's doing guided tours of Bristol on route.

Yes,, i'm game to ride down,, that's if my legs are still ok after sunday!!!


I would a gone a different way again.... gloucester road, kellaway ave,,across the downs,,down bridge valley road and onto the portway, cumberland basin

I'm keeping my 12-30 on my bike....I remember those hills after cheddar!!!!

+1 for your route down Mark ...

Ok, I'll go with the flow. I don't fancy cycling back up Bridge Valley Road after a long day in the saddle though.

Would'nt fancy riding up cotham brow before the ride starts either..

Coming back, we can follow the cycle track along the river, thru town,st werburgs,horfield, abbey wood,etc,,thats quite a flat route home. Or just go straight up gloucester road?? That way will be ok too.

So..9.00 o'clock Aldi car park then??

@Jam, shall we meet you on the way thru?? Kellaway ave??

Kellaway Builders merchants then .... 9:30 (ish) ????

Sorted...kellaway builders at 9.30'ish it is.
