UPDATE FOR LONGER ROUTE
9am start on A40 (see link just back from Overfarm http://binged.it/P7DuSU) for a ride into the Forest of Dean, down to Chepstow via Monmouth and a stop at Tintern, over the old 7 Bridge and back through the lanes to Gloucester. The route is 75 miles based on the Bikely map but that doesn’t include riding to and from the start point and different end point from your homes.

Guys and girls, it is not looking promising for tomorrow. I will make a call by 8pm whether I am going to bother or not tomorrow
Latest update – makings calls tomorrow morning at 8am. If there is a window of opportunity we will probably do the classic Severn bridge ride which is only 62 miles and much less climbing than the route advertised….tbc tomorrow.. This includes Ian R, Peter N and 2 x peters mates and maybe Tim K
