I'm currently free - can't see any reason why that would change at the moment.

I would be really keen on this but I have a race over the weekend of 23rd July, which is my major focus for this year.

All ...

Have just been looking at the Enneywevers camping site Bristol.
This is not going to be practical as they do not take camper vans and the parking is very restricted.
The max amount of sites for tents is only 10.
I feel we should look elsewhere for the Bristol night stop.

Which I will do with immediate effect.

Land surfer. I live in Bristol and as far as I know
that is the only site actually in Bristol. I'm going down there to scout it out when I get a chance...

Thanks for your input on this Flash but their website says something along the lines of cyclists camping site Having looked at all the photos on the site both landsurfer and myself think that parking a crew bus,two campervans a car and half a dozen tents just isn't practical in a site designed for 10 pitches.I would be grateful if you could use your local knowledge to help cycleruk and myself to find a safer way through or around Bristol

If we're going over the old Severn Bridge and up to Monmouth, a nice road, there's always Beeches campsite...

Wimps training club
Two riders shared the top of the leader board this week longest ride 42m and most miles 79 were by one rider and most climbing 3597 feet by the other. Regrettably I didn't make any of the places
