Here's a suggestion for a ride, I've tried to give it a theme and called it "Tour of the Ancients"

The route starts and ends at the Castle Court Sainsbury's in Brislington, Bristol

There's food, fuel, loos and cashpoints etc, and strangely there's a mock castle in the car park which sets the scene for later on...

First point of interest is a white chalk horse site at Cherwell, followed by the stone circle at Avebury, then on to Bratton for another white horse site (biggest and oldest I think). Next up is Glastonbury Tor then heading back to Bristol via Cheddar Gorge.

125 miles total

Here's a pdf map of the route

Half of these places I've never seen myself so I fancy doing it, any one else up for it? If there's enough interest we can look to set a date.
