The Bristol Mud Dock Rock!

  The Mud Dock Rock This weeks ride left from Priory School at 9 am as usual and saw a record turnout with 18 riders!  The challenge was to make it to the Mud Dock Cafe in Bristol for a cup of tea and a slice of cake and back in time for sunday roast. The route was designed by Paul Stone so was a master stroke as usual taking us out through Wick St Lawrence on to the A370. Turning off at Congresbury and riding on to Clevedon our first notable climb was Tickenham Hill a Cat 4 grinder up on to Failand. Next we flew cross the Clifton suspension bridge and quickly descended into Bristol and a welcome cake stop. Once refreshed we headed back out to Nailsea along the back lanes using the cycle route 33. We kept a steady pace and good group formation for the last few miles back along the A370 turning off at Wick St Lawrence back in to Weston. The ride totaled 62 miles and averaged 15.7 mph climbing 1700 ft. A big thanks to Paul, Paul,  Andrew, Andy, Ben N,  Joe, Ben,  Aron, Darren, Jonathon, Meirion, Greg, Chris, Duncan, Dave H, Dave T, Mark and Pete.
Hope to see you all next week
