National Retrobike MTB Ride 4: The Quantock Hills 12 July

[ajantom]

Re: Quantock Hills 12 July

Shouldn't be too long - maybe 15/16 miles - and a nice easy pace
It might have to move to the Sunday, a family issue has just come up, and I'm waiting to hear what day/days I will have to be away.

Saturday is going to be fine....phew!

I've been up for a couple of recce rides, and got a mostly finished route in mind. Happy to upload a .gpx if anyone is interested?

Looks like the start will be at the Lydeard Hill carpark, with a pub stop at the halfway point down in Holford. The ride will include a couple of Quantock classics, like The Chimney and Frog/Holford Combe. Some hard ups, but some lovely downs too ;-)

Re:

Sounds great, what kind of distance do you think it will be Tom?

 

[ajantom]

Probably 16-17 miles. Not that far, but the Quantocks are steep as hell in places!

Re:

Sounds excellent.

I'll try and make this one. Not sure what I will be riding but will be good to see a few of you and I've not ridden there before.

I'd be interested in having a nose at a .gxp file if you've got one

Re:

Sorry but I'm not going to be able to make this one, I've trapped a nerve in my back, so having to give the ridged bikes a wide berth for now.
