Your best bet would be to ride straight from work. Strouds hills are home to some great trails if you know where to look, they can become muddy though so time your ride. Email me when your ready and i’ll show you round.
Try and get an entry to Heaven Of The South, it covers a lot of riding from Dursley / Wooton area.
If you take the canal from Stroud you can pick up The Fosseway from Kemble that runs down to the M4 and then wing it home from there.
Black 8 Bikes @ Nailsworth do a Wednesday evening ride – speak to Luke.
Noahs in Brimscome do a shop ride every Saturday @ 9:30 – speak to Adam.
Garlics coming alive at present, bluebells won’t be far behind.
