Leaving the Larkshall Bunkhouse, we head north through the Two Tunnels Greenway - Combe Down Tunnel (longest tunnel in UK that you can cycle) and Devonshire Tunnel to Bath - stopping here for coffee. Then onward to Bristol via the Bristol-Bath cycleway. Lunch at Bristol near to SS Great Britain. Then head south through the Chew Valley back to the Bunkhouse.
Note: bring lights, although tunnels are lit, lights are needed for you to be seen.
There are some hills.

Ride leader notes
I have 2 bikes: an Orbea e-bike and a Specialised Ruby bike that has had Cytronex fitted to provide electric assist. I like to have a pace of around 10-12 mph, preferring slower than fast. I don't mind hills, but try to keep the ascent to a sensible level.
My preferred distance is 40-50 miles, but I'm equally happy to do shorter rides.
About Pop-up rides
We have certain days when we try to organise regular rides. However, individual ride leaders can create pop-up rides for any day and time.
The small size of some pop-up rides means we might be unable to split a ride if you get into difficulties. We will do all we can to escort you back to the start point, but please be prepared to navigate yourself home or to call for support from a partner, relative or friend.
