Overview
The North Somerset Wander takes you round the best bits of North Somerset; beautiful hills and picturesque coastline.
Description
Head off from the colourful Bristol harbourside and then deal with some climbs around the foot of the Mendips before a break at the Railway Inn. Then the route gets flatter as you head towards the coast and pick up the Pier to Pier way to make your way north through W-S-M and on new cycling infrastructure to the cafe stop at The Owl in the Oak at Kingston Seymour. A delightfully quiet long lane takes you from Clevedon to Pill so you can pick up the path by the River Avon and enjoy views of the gorge. Look out for climbers and climbing goats on the opposite side!
The Arrivee is also on the harbourside a short distance from the start.
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. 🙏🚴🏽♀️
