Thursday 4Th October. Ashton to Lower Langford. Main Group Thursday 4th October. Ashton to Lower Langford. Main group report from Pete Campbell: Only one ride today, so Keith Borissow had the added pressure of designing a route which would satisfy those looking for high speed and the KoM wannabe's, but also achievable for those feeling a little bit mushy this morning and even any others still dreaming of the sofa. He had twenty people arrive at Ashton looking for him to deliver something appropriate. Some of the usual members were absent (holiday, illness) but present for the first time in years was Peter Hobbs who has been busy with very long-term grandchild duty on Thursdays but now the last one is at school he's FREE!! (I guess that's his reaction, as mine are all many miles away so I can't do this regular stuff, although obviously I love them all dearly.) So while we're all fresh it was straight onto the only big climb, up to the top of Ashton Court, then more altitude gain along Beggar Bush Lane. But after that, a piece of cake descending from Failand to Portbury, although not an actual piece of cake. Unless you brought your own snacks you'd have to wait for lunch. For the three miles along the main road through Gordano Keith organised the group into three smaller groups, each with a leader, making sure that there were sizeable gaps for traffic to overtake us. It seemed to work well. We should do this again. There was a short, sharp climb into Clevedon, and then flat onto Kenn Moor. At Yatton Peter Hobbs dropped out, looking for a cake and coffee. A few years away from BTOTC has clearly affected his fitness levels. Sorry I didn't chat with you Peter. Hope to see you back again soon. A couple more miles and we saw Clive Bush at the side of the road. How did he know where we'd be? He was in the area thinking about buying turf (as you do) and was going to join us anyway. At the Langford Inn we often sit in a room just next to the bar where we all fit. I'd assumed we'd be in there but I noticed some sunshine as we approached Lower Langford, and the first people to order all went back outside, so that's where we sat today. Will this be the last time this year? In two weeks we will be at the Apple Tree in Shoscombe where we have only sat outside so the weather had better not break yet. Anyway, top rate food and drink was served, quickly at the Langford Inn and although I did hear one comment about the prices being highish I think that's acceptable to patronise a slick operation. There were two routes home: Keith taking us back the normal Wrington, Claverham, Backwell road, and Mark opting for a trip past the airport and no doubt with a few meters of ascent. Striking out on new adventurous paths is all very well, but those going with Keith had the reward of ice cream at Aimee's. Which one should I choose? No contest! Touch here to see today's route. Thursday 11th October. Amcor to Waterley Bottom. Main group report from Shirley Hume: When you get to a ‘certain’ age there is less in life to look forward to, so for today’s leader the prospect of being left with 7 testosterone fuelled alpha males ready for a fast and furious ride to Waterley Bottom just went to prove that dreams do come true. My own alpha male was confidently predicting carnage and sloped off to join the moderate ride so that he wouldn’t have to witness the ensuing mayhem. Setting off from Amcor we headed out on the well known route to Tytherington, where I realised Bill was missing. My trusty backmarker Andy informed me that he hadn’t come with us, which surprised me as he had said he was recording the route. It subsequently turned out that the chain had jammed again on his electric bike and he had to walk it round to the Giant Shop in Bradley Stoke, catch a bus home and then ride his non electric bike on a direct route to the pub, arriving at more or less the same time as our group. While I was sorry to hear his tale of woe I have to confess to feeling some relief that we hadn’t just abandoned him on the road unwittingly. [Post ride note: Bill rode back to Bradley Stoke and the Giant shop after he left Waterley Bottom and agreed with the manager that he would get Giant to give him a new bike, same model, under warranty. He doesn't know yet when that will be.] Anyway, we took Baden Hill Road from Tytherington and headed to Cromhall on the back road which is often too muddy to be a sensible alternative [bone dry at present]. A different problem soon appeared with a large tree down completely blocking the road. Lamenting the absence of a chainsaw, Martyn, ably assisted by others in the group, managed to arm wrestle the tree enough to allow the rest of us to slip past on the bank, while he manfully held it back until everyone [and his own bike] were safely on the other side. The tree must have come down since Tuesday as I rode the route then, so with the predicted weather over the next couple of days there may be more joining it. Onwards via Leyhill, Tortworth and Damery before going under the M5 to Lower Wick and then working our way back to Stinchcombe. At this point a jacket stop was suggested as the flat, fast section was now over and the hills were about to start. Up the hill past Stinchcombe Church and down into Dursley, then past the Vale Hospital and uphill heading for Peaked Down. I was asked at the top if that was ‘The Hill’ but I judged it to be only an undulation – with the best still to come! We wiggled our way along quiet single track lanes to Uley and then hit the bottom of Lampern Hill, or the one serious hill of the day. By the time we had ground up to the top [about 1 mile] everyone agreed that it was indeed a serious hill. I had the rather unsettling experience of riding up beside Peter T who was intonating ‘10%,11%,12%,13%,14%,15%,14%,13% from his garmin readings. Sometimes ignorance really is bliss!! All safely at the top we headed down past the Cotswold Edge golf club on to Old London Road before taking the right turn to Waterley Bottom. This road is narrow, potholed, twisty etc so people took it gently and fortunately the one car coming our way had the sense to stop and let us squeeze past. We got to the pub at about 12.10, held up slightly by our tree experience, and met Max, Alex and Bill who had all just arrived independently. Jeff M had also made his own way having been too late for the start. The moderate group was there and already had their food but ours came out almost immediately after we paid at the bar and told them what we had ordered. Impressive efficiency and certainly our meals were good. Point of interest for today - we passed 3 horses [and riders] today. The latter asked us to talk to the horses as we went by and having restrained one of the group from muttering ‘glue factory’ as he went past, I suddenly had an image of the horses in their stables tonight wondering if all cyclists thought they were just dumb animals and why we hadn’t asked them for their views on Brexit…….. The ride home got a bit confused as the two groups got mixed up and some of the moderate riders missed a turn while some of our group followed the ones who had turned. Hopefully our two new riders found their way home and will come and join us again and a first for today – the moderate group attracted more riders than the main group!! My report card is marked ‘Must try harder’. Touch here to see how steep it is up from Uley. Thursday 11th October. Amcor to Waterley Bottom. Moderate group report from Pete Campbell: Yes, strange but true. The moderate ride is attracting more riders than the fast group. Is this because some are getting softer with age? Is it because of the opportunity of more education from what seem to be regular points of interest? Well, who can tell. I was on Phil Warry's gentler ride due to my doctor seeming to be unable to tailor hypertension medication to my own specific DNA and I'm feeling knackered all the time. Apparently if I go back to her in twenty years I might be in luck. Another feature of today's moderate group was two new riders and one returnee. As mentioned last week, Peter Hobbs no longer has to entertain a grandchild on Thursdays so is looking for something to do. He wasn't put off last week by the current BTOTC membership and appeared again today. This riding can get addictive, Peter. You can still bale out now before you get sucked back in to having to get your bike out on a Thursday. Maggie Parker is temporarily in Bristol helping to look after her son's brand new baby and was allowed the day off with her bike.

  • News for January 2010
    News for January 2010 Thursday 7th January was to be the day of our first BTOTC outing of the new year, but snow on the Wednesday put paid to that - as well as closing most schools, stopping the buses, preventing refuse collections and causing general traffic chaos. I did not even think about going out the door and nor did leader John Bishop. John spoke to the Fox and Hounds on the Wednesday and they were not expecting anybody to venture out. Let's hope that things improve for the trip to Hawkbury Upton the 14th. At the moment things are looking doubtful, but we could always drive out on the main roads and have a pint and a chat. Thursday 14th January was an improvement on the previous week but although the main roads were clear of snow and ice (but covered in salt and slush) the lanes were still in a state. There had obviously been a lot more snow around Hawksbury than Bristol so with the added negatives of thick mist and two degree temperature we had eleven turn up by car for the suggested pint and a chat. It was a nice break to get out of the house and swap stories on the lines of "when did you get out on your bike last?". This has got to get better for Chew Magna on the 21st hasn't it? Thursday 21st January. The weather started cold, dull and damp - in a word, great. At last, a Thursday with no snow and ice. As we assembled at Bitton station for the ride to Chew Magna it became apparent that there were two different groups of animals present, one set of caged wild animals who had now been released and were itching to hit the road and some just out of hibernation and looking to ease themselves back into cycling after an enforced break.
