Whats it like? Where'd you go?
I may have a job offer in Cirencester and looking to maybe live around Stroud somewhere.
Ta
I live in Cheltenham. Some great riding between Stroud and Cheltenham, especially on the escarpments or in the vallies. What sort of riding do you do?
Good bike shop in Stroud - noahs ark - http://www.noahsark.co.uk/
cheers Bush - i ride XC, LT HT, wheels on the ground stuff but love steep techy slow bits. I've visited the Ark before - seemed like a good shop. Based in Londinium at the moment so just testing the water at the mo.
Yep, as Bushwacked says, loads of good stuff, Cranham, Lecky, Standish.
Quite a few riders on here get up around them thar hills! 😀
Lots around stroud plus nailsworth, avening, sheepscombe, cranhan, tetbury, wooton under edge...
I've got this book:

and still bloody haven't made use of it but there looks to be a few crackers over stroud way
I used to live in London and moved to Cheltenham 7 years ago - best thing I've ever done (except perhaps marry my wife and have kids) - make the move!!
Steep and techy? There's a lot of that in the Stroud valleys! There's also a lot of that in the Chalford valley where Noahs is. I was doing an audax around Berkeley Vale today and getting excited as we passed trail after trail disappearing into woodland...
