Bristol TRF

We didn’t dodge the meal and Chris's bike was pursuaded to leave!

A lovely 169 miles today led by Chris Barrable with me and newish to Bristol trf Simon. Colder than the weather forecast but some fantastic scenery and mix of roads. Dodged showers and hail and great pub meal with a view. Chris's bike didn’t want to leave and had to be pursued. A great day out seein...

Brilliant day thanks Chris. My riding style was like a spider on a motorcycle. Good workout for arms and legs.

Thanks for a fantastic day riding which included a full range of challenges from woods,overgrown hidden lanes to steep rocky climbs and stream beds.
Most of my body aches a bit today.

Thanks for leading a great ride Trev. It was a lot of navigation up and down some very scenic and a few knarly bits. I had just got everything in the garage and the rain came. Perfect timing.

Fabulous day with warm temperature into the evening. Great trails and company!
Wasp on my sleeve stung my wrist repeatedly on the tarmac ride to Chepstow until I squished it.
Wasp dead....wrist very red and puffed up.

Thanks for a brilliant day, Ian and all the guys.
My gopro didn't show my super stunt...just the seat view, but you have posted some good pics here.

What a good days riding with all sorts of surface conditions and ruts; lots of ruts; and some more ruts but also woods and plains.
I even saw a herd of wilderbeast...oh no that was another trip!

Thanks guys and Run leader Trev!

A really good days riding and best weather for many months. Thanks Trev, leading us away from army shelling (mostly!)
