Yes I've booked on it with RAV - same race plan as last year go like stink at the start- crash and burn on first section of tricky down hill - get patched up by St John's Ambulance - change to short route

Really really sorry I can't join you all at the Gap :cry: Nicky and I are doing the short David Duffield route road ride ( 60 miles) as Lands End John O' Groats is only 2 months away and we need to put the miles in. Cycle Active singletrack skills day at the Forest of Dean was brilliant just need to...

Hi

You could try the Sustrans routes I think route 51 " Culbone Way " goes SW from Minehead but unfortunately as Martin says the SWCP is off limits.

Have a look at the Sustrans website ( get Cycling section South West)
