OK see what the others say over the next few days and then we can make a decision.

If you want me to lead you round thats cool. As for start points last time I met Dr Rich and the others here

http://www.riders-bw.co.uk/contact.htm

Bridgewater is about 30 - 45 minutes on the M5 from Bristol

Last rideout I did we met here.

http://www.travelodge.co.uk/find_a_h...YeovilPodimore

which is about 45 minutes from Bridgewater.

I think for you guys coming from Bristol it might be easier if i met you at Riders in Bridgewater and then I can lead you round from there and then take you back to Riders again to make your way home.

However Podimore would be a better start point as theres food and fuel there. Theres no fuel at riders so we'd have to go to Sainsburys and mess about there.

I dont mind either way just let me know what works best.

Once we're all sorted I'll stick a new post up with details and times etc and sticky it

Could do, but you've seen what the traffic is like in Bridgewater on a Saturday its a fricken nightmare. I just felt it was quicker to not bother with fuel and then get out of Bridgewater ASAP. I guess we could stop further round for fuel though.

OK guys which is best for a start point. Bridgewater or Podimore ?
