I'd like to join you,but i think this might just be a ride "TO FAR" for my current level, what cat rating is the hill ?

Not sure what the cat rating is but I tackled it on my 4th ride with the club so I'm sure you'll be fine. The best bit about this climb is the descent through cheddar gorge afterwards.

think Burrington is a CAT4 ... lovely climb Stockwood hill's more of a git - very steep but quite short !

The view at the top is well worth it!

Looks like a nice route Mark.... I'll be up for this .....

Ok i'll give it a go,if my legs explode i can always limp back to the inlaws house in Whitchurch,"are you going John" ?
I can meet on the cycle track say Mangotsfield station doe's this work and what time ?

We could start from the Willy Wicket pub at Downend. Depart at 9.45am

It takes a good 20 mins down to the Willy Wicket so how about 9.15?

Roger Wilco!

Cant make it on Sunday so this looks ideal - room for another two on the Saturday ride ?
(Me and Emma - we'll try not to slow you down too much)

You won't be slow ... I'm riding

John - you are forever the gentleman - thank you !

Weather looks alright (well no ice or biblical rain forecast) so I'll try and make this one. If we're stopping in Cheddar we found a good caff last weekend (usual one was closed!)
