6.30 is just a wee bit too early for me and two hours is a bit too long for a weekday evening.
I wondered if there was any interest in a group also heading out at 6.45 for an hour and trying to get some miles in. Be a short sharp ride at a good pace but a good challenge.
Route would be Bradley Stoke, Almondsbury, Olveston, Cow Hill, Oldbury On Severn, Thornbury, Earthcott, Lattridge, Bradley Stoke.
Hey how about we call this a challenge and see if we can post a time and then continually try and improve it ? I think the route is approximately 20 miles so aim for a 20 miles per hour pace (my maths is getting better!)

This is an alternate and not a replacement ride from the current Wednesday ride.
