I’ve a 50 mile loop starting in Stroud, Glos. that uses the Fosseway @ Kemble and is relatively flat. It’s predominantly off road. It does however include a long rutted section, a few puddles that may require wading, many potholes, a walking section, slop & filth (some gravel too).

Think of it as endurance CX*, 4.5-5hrsish.

Any interest = post on this thread with a preferred date and your email & I’ll get back to you.

Requires self sufficiency, maybe no refuelling points (maybe Sherston).

It’s Christmas, so i maybe slow replying.

* other types of bicycle welcome, but that’s what I’ll be on.

Fosseway at Kemble be fine around Birdlip is a mud feast and there is some very big puddles on the track from Winstone to the Highwayman but what you do other than get muddly.

I can do Thursday morning and would be on a rigid 29er.

So, 29th it is, any other takers? just me & doordonot so far.
