Admit it. You went down the shops for a pint of milk, got lost and are just too embarrassed to ask for directions.

You sure that's 3 hours looks about 45 minutes to me?

Experienced group rider, yes. Route planner, no. I get lost to easily.

What's the start time?

TON, bring your better half for a full days ride. We can run drop offs and stops, shouldn't be an issue.

Feel free to amend as required.

Hi there steve, shall we see you? If you know better roads edit away

Looks good to me, I am familiar with most of the route (first and last third really) but I'm sure where you lead, men will follow
There are a couple of good roads dotted in and around the route but to do them all we'd be doubling back on ourselves here and there so yours seems to flow better as a ride. I'm happy.

Are we planning any refreshment stops etc? It's gonna be a hot one.

Also, what start time suits everybody? I'm pretty easy on that score so will go with the flow...

No just a numpty who spent half an hour trying to get google maps to work

Its a public map so you should be able to amend it, as I said I don't know those roads very well (some not at all).

Not to early please. Its about an hour by motorway for me to make something near the start point. Which is where?

Not too early suits me. You coming m4, m32 into Bristol? I can meet you and lead you to start if you like. Do you know ashton gate (bcfc stadium)?

11:30 Nailsea?

Lunch in Glosonbury, with stop in Radstock for tea & biscuits (assuming there is a cafe open otherwise it might be coke & peanuts in a pub).

11:30 sounds great. I'll roll out if bed at 11:15. Nikki doesn't want to join as she feels uncomfortable in groups at the moment.
