It's the drag caused by Davy's 64 cm (relaxed) thighs. You'd be much faster if you cut your legs off, Davy! :whistle:

So is anyone planning an Epic Ride to the start of the ride? I may see about joining you if you are...

Ahhh, but you see, all that low down gravity enables me to go down hill very fast......

And to the answer of your question, yes.

This http://ridewithgps.com/routes/1331756 . Is currently mapped from my home though...

I have got a train booked to Bristol on the friday afternoon. I am going to go down and see my daughter for a few hours, she is at university there. I was then planning to ride from there to Cardiff in the evening at some point, before joinning the ride.

What time do you think you will be near the bridge? Maybe I could meet up with you there and do the last bit with you, I would certainly be glad of the company.

More the merrier and I would be glad too.

Working time scales back, as I would prefer and teef would too, to be in Cardiff by say half 9/10, then we should be near the bridge for half 6/7...

Teef?

Davy, that might be a little early for me as I won't be leaving the centre of Bristol before 7, so would be out at the bridge around 8ish. You guys will have had a long journey and I certainly would not want you to hang around for me, the onus would need to be for me to meet up with you.

Maybe we just need to play it by ear and see what time you actually get near there. I guess predicting that is not going to be an exact science over that length of journey. If I don't catch up with you, then I'll just have to follow you in.

Thank you Banjo. Good sound advice. I dont think were/I be at Chepstow till 8'ish, so I think that should just be fine. The A48 seems the simple option, but this route looks the flatest, as I hate hills!

Thanks again.

Des, RichP and I took the A48 to the start last year - it was much better riding than I'd expected, the only busy bits being through Newport and into Cardiff. I don't recall it being hilly.

Sadly, I can't make this one...enjoy!

The nicest/ easiest way from Bristol to the bridge is to follow the Avon cycleway (you can join it at Shirehampton), and then turn off either at Pilning station or Tockington. Takes an hour or so from the city centre.

Barnet,
Who was the Friday nighter on radio 2 this morning on Pop Master with ken Bruce? When asked who were they were doing this epic ride for, the answer quite bluntly was no-one.
