Re: Brilliant! I have to say that I never had any intention of doing the cobbled Classics...and reading you post has merrily confirmed that intent.

Re: Fantastic tale Ed, you can certainly write a blog that maintains its interest throughout. I don't know if it means you are a good writer or just one unlucky bstard when it comes to rides :) Pt2 beckons...

'twas a grand day out. Several highlights although the route (mis)leading by Tarloone was the gift that kept giving :-) Made it home in time to lie around and watch the last 2 hours of MSR whilst enjoying a glass of beer (or two) and the odd snooze, champion!

I think the climb out of Wookey is a 20% one but not too long. Cheddar gorge has a 20% apex but soon drops off. My bottom gear of 39/28 will be perfect :-) Adam's legs will be well and truly fec ked...so he only has himself to blame as he picked the route..hehehe.

Retro if you have it but not sure what gearing you have. You may struggle with a 44/23 bottom gear!

Re: Yepp, sunny but chilly. My Alan is all lubed up and ready to roll. The bike is also fine, so some retro riding looks to be on the menu...

Re: Can we go for a 9.30 start? It is some distance to travel and I don't want to wake my wife up early for cycling 2 days in a row at the w/e :facepalm: I figure we aren't in any hurry to get going as the only deadline is to be in the cafe for lunch (and the service better be bloody snappy...

Re: For some reason, I have been regularly checking the Events page wondering why this ride wasn't posted up yet...and lo and behold (to continue the shepherd theme) here the page is! OK, I am up for this. Like Bugloss, I will be riding over big lumps in Wales on Saturday and had been...

Re: I think you would have found the loonies on the bikes, the sane folks were in cars laughing at the loonies on the bikes :-)

Re: EPIC!

Re: RetroRoadRide Series Rd 4: The Cotswolds ~ 19/07/14 Joking aside, can I suggest that everyone with web access just does a quick check in the morning before setting off (Daj and I are happy to exchange moby numbers via PM). The plan is to do the ride as is but, should the forecast worsen...

Re: That's all right. The thunder will help to drown out Daj's moans as we face yet another punchy climb :facepalm:

Re: Re: If we don't do this ride I will be getting my legs ripped off on a club ride so no ducking out options for me! Weather looks ok during the day although when we cop a shower we will know all about it :wink: I think I may get a tad damp on the way over to Stow and then on the way...

Re: RetroRoadRide Series Rd 4: The Cotswolds ~ 19/07/14 Great stuff. Don't worry Karl there are about 7 of us riding so no reason why cannot wait a little while. One thing we cannot avoid is the weather warning. I am ok with the current prediction but I do have a track record of foolhardiness...

Re: RetroRoadRide Series Rd 4: The Cotswolds ~ 19/07/14 Don't worry, I'll have plenty of cross words.

The Retrobike RetroRoadRide Series 2014 Round 4: The Cotswolds So happy people, you have a great opportunity to show off your pride and joy (!) around the Cotswolds. Daj and Bobbinogs are planning two routes: one will be undulating and not too long (to be taken at a leisurely pace) and...
