Blue pointy in Bristol this morning - SV650.org

I was on the thundercat and pulled forward for you to get from between the cars at some lights a little before Fowlers.

I noticed that you went down the road on the other side of the river/canal from Fowlers. I clocked it cos I was stuck trying to filter and you just blatted down that road.. How jealous was I. I'm trying that tomorrow.

Was that any of you?

I have learnt the best filtering tips from watching others in Bristol... there are a few places that you just wouldnt think to filter / have the nerve.. and then watch others make it look easy!

This wasn't so much filtering as going down a different road but that road looked completley clear and the one I was on was chokka.

I'm definatley doing that one tomorrow. I can't belive how bad Bristol is for getting through in the morning, I must literally want to get through about 1 mile of road and it takes FOREVER. And that's on the bike let alone how it must be in a car

Its always like that along that bit of road by Fowlers, its a frickin nightmare to get through. Using that other bit of road is a much better plan

I always use the road on the other side of the water. You end up in a better position at both roundabouts as well ( I think).
