Bristol/Gloucester/Wiltshire (and surrounding people)

Anyone interested in meeting up and introducing ourselves to each other. There seems to be a few people joined within this area so I think it would be nice.

We could go for a bimble, or not?

Who is interested and where abouts are you, don't say Bristol, as it's a big(ish) place so we can find a centralish place



Stretchie - Chippenham, Wiltshire

Im based in s.w.london but the inlaws are near Stroud/Gloucs, a ride out would make a great excuse to leave the missus with her folks for a few hours..

I'm next door in Berkshire, Chippenham and the surrounds are in easy reach.

Count me in, I'm in north Bristol but dont mind traveling a bit. Just let me know when and where and I'll be there (if I've got my license!).

In Kiddeminster, 50 (?) miles away, be good for a jaunt

Well, not sure where to suggest that doesn't seem like I'm favouring my back yard

Hi guys, i live in stroud and could suggest a couple of nice bike friendly pubs, The Golden Fleece Nelson street, or The Crown and Septre in horns road are both "proper ol pubs". decent local post ride beers too... Or if we need somewhere bigger the Clothiers arms has a substantial car park and garden... the landlords used to bike meets there aswell.... always a bonus! Let me know if anyone has a sunday in mind and ill pre-warn him to stock up!

In Swindon, keen to get out on the bike plenty this year!

Don't think we'll need anywhere big.
There will only be a few of us. Watch this space.

Due to a last minute problem with landlords we have to move in the next week and half so I won't be sorting anything out now until we have moved, but feel free to use this sort something out.

If central enough you could meet at the Cross hands which is bang on two miles north of Jct 18 (Bath junction) of M4 and really easy to find

There's some great Cotswoldery in reach from there if you head north/east. My bike's in for a major service next week, after which it'll be all systems go!

RESURRECTION (if that's how you spell it)

Right then, fancy meeting up on Sunday? I'm hoping to have new rubber on so need to scrub them in.

I'll start off with a suggestion of meeting at about 10:00-10:30??

Either at:

A: Morrisons carpark in Chippenham
Go south from Jct 17 of M4 (Chippenham). All the way down the dual carriage way until it changes to single carriage way and then take the second exit of the roundabout and Morrisons is on your left.

B: Cross Hands car park near Chipping Sodbury
Go 2 miles north of jct 18 of M4 and the pub is on the right at the lights

So you fancy it? Feel free to give other suggestions. We could have a blat over to Abergavenny if you want or keep it a bit more local, maybe down to Weston Super mud via Cheddar Gorge for some chips?

On family duty Sunday am, have fun if you get out

i can do a sunday at some point, a bit of notice required as i need leave from the firebrigade.

Radar - Cool, have a good un.

Firemaster - Sounds good, where in Wilts are you?


Any takers yet?

Got me new tyres, put the wheels back on but my bike felt a little unsure overnight.

Off to help someone service their bike in the morning and working tomorrow evening so Sunday will be the first outing on the new tyres.
