Ride grade is BLUE
Leadership changed from Jason to Mike/Matt… but we’ll be fine!
Anyone fancy going bit further afield for this one, maybe Cwmcarn or Afan?
Failing that, how about stinchcombe and north nibley?
Stinchcombe OK with me, starting from the golf course as usual (further afield means getting up early…)
I’m sure we can put a route together.
Hi Mike and Matt,
I have updated the ride to Stinch over to North Nibley and I am sure you can find you way around as you have been there a few times now.
…oh and it is a no from me, on holiday
Enjoy
Jason
Dont think we should mix drinking and riding but my shot of choice is a black sambuca or is it if you dont attempt the jumps or drops you have to down a shot.
Right you are. Do you want lift mike?
@Matt: thanks for the offer but I’ll be fine to get there by car.
My ankle should be recovered by then so count me in. I know the area quite well if we get stuck.
Matt I ride afan most weekends,would put up a ride date if I new how!! Will be on stinch ride if you wanna organise a day for a visit? And yes usually an early start to get there for about 9,can get busy after 10
And once again jas banging on about his holidays,anyone else getting a little peeved!!?
I know a decent stinch loop taking in some road and of course the jumps and dh bits at both stinch and nibs,about 2.5-3hrs
Yes

Working again.
Terry, I’ve not been there before, but I do know where the Old Spot pub is in Dursley, looks like you just follow the road up from the pub and turn right at the top.
Hi guys, thats right Rob, heading from Glos, into Dursley and at the main set of lights where the pedestrian area is in front of you turn right and round the corner by the Old spot up the hill turn right at ( T ) junction and follow the straight to the car park on the left.
Have fun guys, cannot make this due to party sat,night.
Should be fine for this one:)
hope to make it too
Terry I can pick you up if you wish or you can follow me down.
Hi Matt i will take you up on the offer of following you down. do you still remember where i live and what time.
I will text you my post code, there will be our green people carrier on the drive
Terry
