Loving the west rides!

This week I've managed a couple of great solo rides. Tuesday saw me do chedar gorge and Saturday saw a great run over the mendips through blagdon, ubley, Compton Martin and back through chew valley.
Makes you realise we have some top rides here in the west and how lucky we are. Today is a good day to be a biker! Sun is out and all is good. Thanks to theonlynemesis for making sure my day didn't turn to horse shlt. Top man & you know why..

Fancy coming a little further north?

We could repeat this

That looked like a great ride. I was in Majorca from may 21st to 28th so this ride totally passed me by!
Anything similar and I'll be looking to join in for sure, cheers!

dkid - your cheddar, chew, blagdon routes are ones that I'd love to do myself some time. Used to live and work around that area and loved it. I'm a bit worried that I'd be so busy oogling the gorge that I'd run straight into it. Same thing riding straight into chew lake lol.

Haha, yeah a lot of it is very nice to look at.

I've got to get my bike back together this week providing parts turn up and then got a couple of weekends away but we'll sort something out soon. Every been across the bridge to Wales on the bike?

Yeah my sister lives in Chepstow so I've ventured over a few times. Pushed on to tintern as well but not much further. I hear its good riding there, elan valley etc

Ha, GruntyGiggles on here is from Caldicot, but yeah good riding over there, get off the old bridge go north and over the roundabout (where you would turn right for Chepstow) carry on towards the racecourse and take a left where the Mistubishi garage used to be, that's a nice road and with take you to Usk, go through Usk and take a right at 'The Three Salmons Hotel' and a couple miles of twistness later take a left when the road ends and that will take you to Abergavenny. Have a brew and a bacon bap at the bus stop and route home is pretty much the reverse. Not a bad trip for a butty

We'll get you out there soon, or if you want a day one we can do a slightly modified AR10 route

Got out in Wales a few times this year, would like to get out a bit more (when the Mrs hasn't got something arranged for me).

Weather was too good to pass up a ride last night so headed up to to the new inn at blagdon.
Good food and amazing views over the lake
