Great ride on some very familiar trails, most of which are holding up quite well under the circumstances. Still amazed we did over 4.5 hours of riding and almost managed a 'perfect loop' (only a couple of short sections ridden twice). Plenty more to do there, too!

Thanks to Buzz and Gilles for coming along with a few of us locals. Also nice to have a post-ride pint for a change. Albeit in a chilly beer garden with an over-friendly chicken 😯

Thanks muchly for showing us around. There were loads of nice bits I will never find again, and I got very disoriented – but it was probably just my hangover.

I'll try and come to one of these ! 😀

Heh, 4 of were around there today aswell. Good riding, probably saw you at one point. Did you go down the hill in front of Heavens gate? My GPS data if you want a look.

Dunno mate I, was following someones back wheel the whole ride 😀

Ta for the linky

Someone drop their keys?

This is a close approximation of ours, Buzz. Manually plotted on t'internet:

It was a paltry 20miles, BTW. Felt like a lot more! Total ascent was 2028ft.

'A' is the start/finish pub;
Purple marker is Longhedge (road section past stables);
Blue marker is Shear Water;
Yellow marker is Heavens Gate.

The sprawling mass of conurbation in the NE corner is Warminster.

Cheers

Cool – rode through that area last May and stopped at Heavens Gate to admire the view 🙂

Cool map tool, what phone do you have?
