[Closed] Bristol roadie scene.

Loads of roadies about and plenty of clubs though I'm a little out of it these days to be able to tell you which are the racier ones but Bristol Road Club and Bristol South CC spring to mind.

Thanks!Bump.

I know some very quick riders with Bristol South so worth checking them out.

Roll the dice at Castle Combe Summer series!

Is that you Mike, of 24 Hour racing fame?

Bristol has a v good scene for both road and MTB, and some vary fast riders in the area.
Best bet drop into a few bike shops, I would start at BW cycles, I know a local club meet/start at the shop Sat/Sun rides.

Judging by the amount of roadies (I'm one of them btw) out last weekend around the Chew Valley and Mendips I would say its pretty damn popular. A bunch of racers and team cars swooped past me in Burrington Combe on Saturday. No idea who or what though.

Yep, big roadie scene here in bristol.

There's a very fast chain gang ride that heads out on a tuesday evening from novia scotia pub which goes around the lakes. Quite a few clubs as mentioned - VC Bristol, bristol south, Bristol road.

There's even a few ex pro's that still ride

Yep, the Mendips were alive with the sound of freewheels and bleeping Garmins on the weekend. Beast of a headwind back to Bristol though. Looking forward to getting out around Rowberrow on the mtb as well soon.
