To The Sun then  :thumbsup:

I'm away for a bit on the IBT Cotswold tour with the Americans. [It's now been re-named 'A Cycling Journey: English Villages along the River Avon']. Not exactly catchy and no more accurate since we also follow the River Kennet, visit towns/cities like Bath, Bristol and Stratford-upon-[the other River]-Avon.  ::-)

I'm not sure about IBT either, too close to IBS  :facepalm:  Can't they call it "Wombling Around with Tomsk" or something similar?

Has anyone used that byway at Colemans Cottage Fishery (off Little Braxted Lane) to get over to/from Braxted Road?  If so, what sort of surface is it? Toying with it as an alternative to the A12 on the way home.

I think huggy or OD took a group of witham cycling folks over there once.  I wasn't there, but have a vague memory, which could be completely bogus, that lifting bikes over gates might have been involved.

OD led us down there on the rubbish roads ride. I wouldn't want to take anything with narrow tyres down there but was on my slicked mountain bike and fine.

I'll possibly be at the roundabout if I get my act together in time.  Otherwise I'll see you at the pub.

Anybody got a route they want to do?

I was hoping to get out for a nice ride across this evening, using the Flitch Way. Unfortunately I'm still stuck working and not able to get away for quite a while yet, so will be missing out. Not happy  :(
