CTC Centenary Camping Trip - Tuesday, 9th June, 2026

This ride starts from the Stowford Manor Farm Campsite at 09.30 and we make our way to the 2 Tunnels Greenway via Bradford on Avon. We pass Midford Castle (once owned by Nicolas Cage, the actor). Coombe Down tunnel is just over one mile long and is the UK's longest cycling and walking tunnel, and is heightened by the extraordinary audio-visual installation, ‘Passage’ by United Visual Artists.

Although the tunnel is lit, please bring lights so that other users can see you, then through the Devonshire Tunnel, which is not as long, then onto Bath for coffee.

We then head south and make our way to Midsomer Norton through some pretty villages for lunch at Jacarandas, returning back to the campsite via Radstock.

Total distance 50 miles

Ride leader notes

I have 3 bikes: an Orbea e-bike, a Specialized Ruby bike that has had Cytronex fitted to provide electric assist and a steel touring bike - Argos racing cycles of Bristol which has also had Cytronex fitted. 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 40-60 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.
