Got my BiL coming to the UK for the week and they will wind me up no end for the duration so the good lady wife has excused me for the Friday evening.
I'll be starting in Stroud after I've dropped off the kids to the Parent's in laws, so it'll be a late-ish start(would have thought 6-7pm with approx 15-20 miles to somewhere East of Cheltenham.
About 50/50 off road/road. Depending on waterlogged/mudfest tracks.
Maybe pub for tea too.
I've to be back in Bristol for lunchtime, so no great mileage either day.

Anybody fancy tagging along?

I would FF - my folks live in Stroud too! But stuck on a bicycle in Norway till Friday at present.
Have a good trip... up through Cranham... Slad Valley's nice too but I can't recall where that might link too on the tops.

Packed ready for tomorrow.

Didn't really notice 'til I uploaded the pic that my bags could do with a wash. :oops:

Oh well. :D

And in true STW fashion, I couldn't give a toss about the weeds in the drive and the two tone fence.

Bloody typical!
Nice quiet spot in the Cotswolds, or so I thought.
There's a bloody big stag looking for a mate in the woods, it's pissing it down now and to top it all off it would appear there's some sort of mini Glastonbury going on at the bottom of the hill.

It ain't peaceful I can tell you that!

Hi FF, Where did you get to in the end? Cranham/Crickley Hill? Hope brekky is a bit more peaceful or are they still at it down the hill? Have a good ride back!
