On yer bike!!!!

[wiskey]

this weekend sounds good.

i've no idea where that entrance is though?

 

[Iam]

Never mind, back to Plan-A then : "Cycle across the Severn Bridge". I've not been to Wales since I left in a hurry in '97, I left so fast I ended up in Australia.

Go do some work, skive-boy!

That entrance is at the corner of St Phillips Road and Trinity Street near Old Market. A map from the website for the path is here

Go do some work, sick-boy!

How am I supposed to do any work when I'm at home sick?? It isn't like I can just access the bus via a VPN and drive it by remote control you know

 

[wiskey]

oh right ok, i think thats the bit we failed to find when we last cycled it and we joined it further on.

Yeah, the flats in the background are the ones in Lawrence Hill, I can see them from my work.

 

[JoePolitix]

OK things are looking better.

What say dervish, djbombscare, Iam and pno (the other "yes" voters) to this Sunday?

 

[djbombscare]

Well I'm in for this weekend Sunday should be cool. So where when and where we going ?

I have been doing the Portway over the bridge and then back down the track on the other side.

And Im keen on doing that Timberland trail, anyone know if its any good.

 

[JoePolitix]

Idea is meet here @ 2:30pm:

Go to Bath and back. Just to test the water. If a success we can plan longer cycles for the future.

Cool?

Dammit, I'm supposed to be working on Sunday.

I might be able to skive it off though.

OK stupid question I know and I think you gusy have already done this. . .but. . . where the fuck is that ?

 

[JoePolitix]

St Phillips Road.

Try this:

If you're still not sure where it is get down to the centre and follow the signposts.

It's well signposted.

(btw I think the entrance has been slightly sexed up since that photo was taken. Its a arch of fake trees iirc)

 

[fizzerbird]

Is tis supposed to be happening today?

Wtf?

Why do I give a fuck anyway...coz I aint going...I can't think of anything worse than spending time with you fekkers anyhoo...

 

[gentlegreen]

I can't go because, quite apart from getting a sore arse after 5 miles in my saddle, I currently only have the bottom 8 gears.

 

[Iam]

It looks like rain...

I have washing, ironing, and a load of work to do. I'll have to see how I get on with all that before I can come - and the bike I was going to use isn't in the most ridable of states, either.

 

[JoePolitix]

I read its gonna be dry and cloudy - could be worse. Anyway I'll be there repping snow or sleet.

Iam - maybe leave a couple of shirts wrinckly - every bike ride needs a hip hop expert!

 

[dervish]

Gonna set off in a bit. Looks like it's going to be a lovely day.

See you all there!

 

[djbombscare]

Late doors I know But I was hoping that the guy who was supposed to pick up the motor yesterday was going to be here by now as he promised Sunday luchtime at the latest.



And he's still not here and I gott await for him so I'm gotta dip out


If he turns up in the next 15 mins though I should be able to shoot over to Bitten station and try to head you all off there

 

[wiskey]

you're all gonna hurt tomorrow

sorry i couldnt come - have to trek to london.

next time

 

[dervish]

Well that was a nice ride. It turned out to be only me and Recumbrant Boy, but we buzzed up the path, had a good ride, got to bath and did the only sensiible thing you can do really....

Buzzed all the way back. I'm knackered, but he's not had enough yet and has taken a deliberate 16 mile detour on his way home, nutter.

Next time I suggest that we swap numbers by pm first as that may have made the meet up a little easier. I don't know if pno or joepolitix made it, we waited near the entrance for about 45 minutes but didn't see them.

Well to be fair the path is rather on the flat side... and since Clifton has some very nice hills I thought I'd race up Bridge Valley Road for a laugh... Just got in and clocked up a very nice 60.66miles for the day, and since 60miles was the minimum distance I wanted to do today I think it is fair to say "Result!"

So when is the next ride??

Shit, you would've been the two guys lying on the grass then? I thought there was a chance it was you but had assumed we would be meeting outside the tree arch so I just zoomed past!

You're quite right about the number exchange thing. We should schedule another one of these but someone else should organise it. Being a student activist such things are obviously beyond me.

Anyway - hope you and RB enjoyed it - I certainly did, it was such a lovely day today.

 

[Recumbent Boy]

That would have been us... I got there about 2pm, as I took a wandering route to the start of the path so I could clock up some extra miles to meet my goal of 60. I found a comfortable patch of grass to wait out the time.

Oh well maybe the next ride then...
