South Bristol Byways

Post by Godspeed » Sat Jun 13, 2020 2:03 pm

Spent a few hours riding some of the byways south of Bristol. There’s a fantastic mix of easy stuff mixed with some of the most technical lanes around.
I almost got taken out by 4 guys on their 2 stroke KTMs who were egging each other on around one particular byway. Hate to think what would have happened if I’d been on a horse....

I know what you mean, the ruts aren’t too much of an issue cause you can lift the bike out, I usually come unstuck if there’s a rocky step as you ground out and can’t get up it. Went down and did a bit of the GWT the other week on the Innova. Some fantastic byways!

I have never done the Bristol byways, and I live near Keynsham. I have done a few around Bath and Peasdown on my C90 many years ago. Since my front suspension linkages have been an MOT advisory for the last 3 years I thought it best not to beat on the poor old thing, but as I have just got a new rebuilt kit I might have to venture out and find them when I have fitted them.

Hopefully they wont be flooded like that if I go. The byway at odd down in Bath had a stonking muddy lake at the bottom and my shoes were squelching for the rest of the day. Its a shame I don't have knobbly tyres fitted. It was so slippery. I ended up getting a puncture on the way back because some twat decided to fly tip a heap of junk at the entrance of the byway.

Oh yeh, the flytipping has been really bad recently. And I remember that puddle down the bottom of odd down....
