I've got a .gpx saved of the route that I saved from elsewhere online.
Is it too soon to be planning for 2022?

Quite a bit of jnfo here: https://avoncycleway.co.uk/ and there's also a facebook group.
I've got a paper map that I picked up in the library years ago, but not sure if it's still available anywhere.
It's a good ride - but the bit near the airport between a370 and a38 is a bit rat runny so best to avoid being on that bit in rush hours.

Not sure if clear enough to read but here's the map
Re: Is it too soon to be planning for 2022?
looking at that, i think i've ridden it all - just not all in one go!
Convention? what's that then?
Airnimal Chameleon touring, Orbit Pro hack, Orbit Photon audax, Focus Mares AX tour, Peugeot Carbon sportive, Owen Blower vintage race - all running Tulio's finest!

Excellent advice! I'm looking at doing bits of the North Sea Cycle Route - Dunkerque to Hoek van Holland, or the East coast of Scotland, which is also part of it.Certainly do your planning but be prepared to alter or cancel the plan. Covid is far from finished and we'll likely have more exclusions, red lists etc.
I'd plan two tours, one abroad and another closer to home.
This way you'll have something to look forward to.
But next year it will be 40 years since I first did a cycle tour... I've been meaning to retrace my route through East Anglia - if I can find the diary! Or maybe I'll leave it till the 50th anniversary...!

Too soon? No way.
I’ve been planning my 2022 trip to the USA for about 3 years!

Is that new ? The only reason I ask is that there used to be a cycle race up Gold Hill every year, as a matter of fact the local Council actively encouraged it..see link. The reality is the average tourer might struggle to turn their peddles so would probably walk it.hayers wrote: ↑26 Nov 2021, 10:24amSadly IIRC Gold Hill has got no cycling signs so recreating the hovis ad might be off... but nonetheless that will be a very nice ride, in fact am currently planning a multiday tour from S Glos with overnight in Shaftsbury having passed through on a previous route.

Its a lovely area though, a regular cycling haunt of mine.

Plus, what else is there to do on dark winter days, other than unnecessary maintenance on your bikes?
