[zachl]

hey all

am going on a ride with a mate tomorrow, we were thinking devon but due to winds and weather etc we would rather go somewhere a little more local.

any advice on any nice local areas?

Hi, I always like a trip to Glastonbury, round the frome bypass then A361 all the way ,plenty of places for a stop in glasto.
Poss Return via Wells, Radstock and Farley Hungerford.
Covers most tyres of roads and a couple of places for a sneaky blast

[zachl]

thanks t1pper, thats a good idea

Anywhere over Salsbury plain is a good bet.

yeh i like those roads, i also quite often get on the white horse road at westbury and ride through to market lavington etc

Ok, try this one A350 to chipp over junc 17 to malmesbury turn right on roundabout to brinkworth (poss stop at 3 crowns in Brinkworth good grub), then on to w bassett and either head home via lynham calne melksham forest etc or weather permiting go on from bassett to wroughton chiselden marlbough and back via devizes some great fast roads this way but Sometimes a few camara vans about.
Let me know what you decide , as I am too busy to get out this w end boo

B3092 is a great biker road, ie. miles of sweeping bends, great road surface and width; and pretty close to you

probably go with your original suggestion t1pper tbh. the second sounds a little complicated, unfortunately i was raised in the culture of tom tom and therefore have very limited direction awareness im afriad
