Overview
The North Somerset Stroll takes you on a family-friendly jaunt down towards the coast and back through the Avon gorge.
Description
Heading off from the colourful Bristol harbourside you follow the largely traffic-free Festival way towards Nailsea. Then quiet lanes through the North Somerset levels take you to the Owl in the Oak cafe at Kingston Seymour. Turning round, a delightfully quiet lane leads to Pill and back into Bristol on the riverside path through the Avon gorge, for a new perspective on the Suspension Bridge! Ending up back at the harbourside, a short distance from where you started.
About half of this ride is on segregated/traffic free routes which makes it very suitable for younger/newer riders.
Caution: Some paths are unpaved but are maintained and suitable for all bikes.
Finish:
The Pump House.
The finish is a short distance away at the western end of the harbour.
What others think.
Fantastic
Brilliant ride , fantastic route great controls , Another Fab A.C.B event
Another ACB blast
Typical ACB , great route and organisation…great company too. Only complaint was the sheer volume of potholes, in fact I think you call it a pothole festival or a convention. Some of them were older than some of the rocks we passed in Avebury or Stonehenge.
My first 200k
What a great event! If you’re thinking of making the step up to a 200k, or a seasoned hand I would recommend this route to you. Some amazing views, plenty of pleasant lanes, great control/eating stops and a good tour of Britains neolithic past!
Go ride it!
Wow, what a day and what an eclectically diverse bunch.
What an utter privilege to have had this event made available to us, put on to give us something to do, and to have been able to turn out on the day. An extraordinarily creditable testimony to all parties: those who are no longer with us, those who press on in the face of grief soaked memories, those who support quietly in the wings and all the 140(ish) participants who can now spread the word of an outstanding event. Oh yes, not a bad effort with the weather Will; despite acknowledging that it is beyond your control.
Fabulous first Audax experience
Excellent route and great camaraderie. Lovely Cotswold village stops and countryside. Lucky with the weather too – a prefect day of cycling. 🙏🚴🏽♀️
