The 'two bridges half-marathon loop'
Wanted a good fast bike ride. Was good down to the harbour and towards the Avon 'towpath'. Thought it would be quite nice but actually it was much bumpier than I'd remembered and there were lots of puddles so it turned into more of a cyclocross training ride. Got to Pill and stopped the hard ride to have and explore of its orienteering potential which probably took a good 30+mins. Continued to the M5 bridge and up and over into Shirehampton for another little explore, ended up on Penpole Lane so went to look at Kings Weston House and back through Sea Mills and The Downs. Got overtaken by a commuter pulling a tag-a-long which was a bit of a blow until I realised he had an electric bike, definitely couldn't keep pace on the hills but I put enough effort in on the flat to catch him back up and save face.
