Bristol > Nailsea for coffee, 15 miles

Meeting outside the Nova Scotia Pub. Simple and short ride to Nailsea for coffee in the precinct.

There is parking nearby at the start. On street and council owned car parks - I believe time limited to 3 or 4 hours, your need to check. There is the Long Ashton park and ride, 10 minutes cycle - but small print says 'park and cycle' not allowed. A few of these car parks are within the Bristol Clean Air Zone, domestic and commercial vehicles may incur a charger.

The route is a mix of traffic free and quiet roads. Were stop or slow down after junctions and hills to let everyone catch up. The pace will be fairly slow.

Bring a bike lock, there will be a lot of bikes, so best to agree to lock to another one of our riders. Main bike parking is near Coffee #1 / Waitrose.

Were start to gather for the return 60 minutes after arriving, meeting by the cycle parking between the Waitrose café and Coffee #1

The route out of Nailsea is slightly different to the route in due to the one way system, were head up the high street, then take a right turn past the Nailsea Micro Pub into the car park and back towards the Leisure Centre.

On return to Bristol, I am heading for food, probable a Noodle cafe - near St Mary Redcliffe unless the new Chippy near the Mardyke is open. If anyone wants to join me.

Please respect we ride in a group and the ride leader has to make
decisions on behalf of the group, these need to be followed.

The ride leader will stop for catch-ups, at junctions and hills. Please do not overtake the ride leader this is how most rides have ended up with riders being lost, causing the whole group to be inconvenienced.

You must be confident in your fitness level for the whole ride. If you are in any doubt please do not attend. You must be capable of riding for 90 minutes non stop and completed this recently. We do not ride fast and do stop at the top of hills but we do require a certain level of fitness.

Your bike needs to be recently ridden and in good order. You should bring a spare inner tube for your bike. This is to avoid holding up the rest of the group. There is likely to be someone on the ride who can help mend a puncture, although this is not guaranteed. Have a plan is you or your bike cannot be fixed following an incident.
