The Wild West Pie Day 11th of June

[Spinney]

I have been given the green light for this - but need to be back in Winterbourne for 4pm - as I am in Winterbourne I could meet you on the way & we can intercept the main crew at Mangotsfield station ?

Up for that - need to check timing etc nearer the day.
This is the route google recommends for cycling - so not quite through Winterbourne, but does avoid the busier roads. It goes to Warmley as that was one of the places @summerdays (I think) suggested meeting up. No probs with changing it, though. Might also depend if @summerdays is going to meet us on route. I'm not terribly fast - don't count on much more than 10 mph average - but then I don't think it's going to be a fast kind of day! I've ridden the BB railway cycle path, and the link into the middle of Bristol, but I can't claim to know it well at all.

I know the bit from the ring road into the centre and most of the junctions in between really well, the stuff further out towards Bath I've done but wouldn't know as well.

Ok Wild Westeners.

I should be coming up from the Taunton area on Friday 10th so i am looking for a nice area to B&B along side the cycle route so i dont have to cycle the whole distance twice in one day on the 11th.

Any ideas or recommendations where i should look?

My parents have stayed at Box Hedge Farm previously, which is not far from the Yate spur of the ring road path and about 10 mins ride from Mangotsfield station. It was comfortable and clean.

Current forecast doesn't look too bad:

What time is the start time from Bath?

 

[TheDoctor]

I'm afraid I have to bail.

 

[summerdays]

Do you know what route we will take from the end of the cycle path to St Nick's market? Or stopping on route? Thinking about where anyone wanting to join in town could find the group.

Very easy.

From end of path, go straight on through industrial estate to end of road.
Turn right then second left into Unity Street.
Straight on, past Gardner Haskins on left, enter cycle tunnel outside McColl newsagent.
Emerge from tunnel, bear right, up slope, then left along cobble street to end, go right up the short slope and you will see Castle Park. Through the park to St Nicks.

I commute this one all the time, so maybe I could ride in front?. BTW, anyone got an idea where/time the initial meeting should be?. I can make it to Warmley Station café on the path on 11/6 for about 11am ?. Suggest meeting up at the Tardis loo?. I'll be on the 'thunderbird 2 green' specialized MTB.

Looking forward to meeting people

I know it's easy, but I take different routes so I thought it was best to ask. (I turn left down by Hannah More school for example or carry along by the river sometimes).

[QUOTE 4310888, member: 45"]So, shall we consolidate where we are? It would be good to know who it meeting and where.

I'm planning to motorcycle to Temple Meads station, grab a Brompton from the dock, catch the train to Bath, then meet at Bath station at 10:30.

Can I suggest that I start a list below? If the next person copies it into their response and adds their name we should have a running list of who is going to be where and when. We can always delete our previous posts if it starts to get messy...

summerdays just beat me to it!
If Mr Paul can't start from Bath until 10.30, is 11 am too early at Warmley? (I have no idea!). But if it's a nice day we won't mind waiting!

Bristol
Hill Wimp with CoffeeJo. Fingers and toes crossed and trying everything we will make it and will meet you at St Nicks market. If Jo makes it she will have the very gorgeous Snipe with her, if she does not then i will get up to Bristol and try to park and cycle down to Bath or Warmsley.

I don't know Bath well, or Warmley at all, but Google maps has it at about 9 miles. Unless the idea is some kind of chain gang, I'd say it's a fair bit too early. I will await firming up of the schedule, and if t works out trainwise I will try to get to the start. Failing that I will show up in Brizzle.

I'll meet folk at Warmley Station cafe at from 11am onwards on my trusty steed:
