Ashton Court to Bristol Airport

This ride takes us from Ashton Court, meeting in the car park by the Mansion House, up from Kennel Lodge Road, by the Bower Ashton Campus (£1 parking fee). We will be taking on a section of the Great Weston Ride (a fabulous 56-mile challenge bike ride from Bristol to Weston-super-Mare that follows a spectacular route through the Mendips and across the Somerset Levels on 21 July 2013)  http://www.greatwestonride.com/index.htm New faces are always welcome. This is a challenging 20 mile ride, hilly in places, along a few main roads ideal for experienced riders.  We will be riding through the villages of Long Ashton, Barrow Gurney, Winford, past the airport , then back down the hill taking in Brockley and Nailsea before heading back to Ashton Court.  It's a good idea to bring some water and warm clothes/gloves at this time of the year. Please bring some money if you want to buy refreshments afterwards when we get back, where there'll be time for more chat and a warming drink or bite to eat at the coffee shop. Wearing a helmet is advisable; if you don’t have one please do not to worry you can still take part.  If you enjoy the bike ride and would like to come again perhaps you could look to buy one then. Please ensure a mobile number is provided in case the road is cancelled due to inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
