Audax - Avon Cycleway

[honesty]

So, anyone doing it? Temperature on Saturday is going to make it quite interesting!

There are folk out there who will be doing more uncomfortable things in the hot weather. If it is still hot. I was talking to a lady who works in a kitchen which gets too hot in normal weather. Compared to that cycling is a breeze, literally. It is only when climbing or when you stop that you overheat. It's easier than hill walking in the heat.

Where does that ride go?

[whoof]

It pretty much follows this.

I tend to ride it about once a year, last time a couple of months ago. A mixture and Somerset flatlands, a bit of coast past Clevedon, some industrial bits crossing the M5 and past Avonmouth, following the Severn, across a bit of common, a section of the Bath/Bristol Railway path, some hills between Saltford and Bristol Airtport.

As for the weather it's lovely.

It does a full loop of Bristol following, in the main, the Avon Cycleway with a few alterations where the organisers have worked out better routes I think.

What sort of time should I expect to see people going through Pill/Easton-in-Gordano?

[honesty]

I guess I’m going to be going through about 12 ish... but I’m slow!

Thanks!
