Revisit the joys of the Two Tunnels Circuit. It's about 20K but largely depends where you join and where you jump off. However it will be a leisurely ride around this circuit, taking in parts of the Avon riverside, the canal path from central Bath to Dundas Aqueduct, and the Two Tunnels cycle way from Midford back to town.

Our clockwise ride lends itself to providing a few different options for you joining the ride. Just let us know if you'll be joining up after the official start point (via the chat below, or WhatsApp group chat).

Some Notes on Safety

Whilst this circuit mostly follows dedicated off-road routes, there are some small sections of road, the busiest section of which can be walked off-road if necessary.

Helmets recommended. Lights recommended for tunnel sections. Weather update to come closer to the time.

FYI - We will be making an unscheduled stop to visit Helen and the new baby in Batheaston as we make our way round the circuit. Please let me know if this is an issue, it won't change any of the above joining times as we will head there after the meet point at The George at Bathampton. It will however add at least an hour on to our overall journey time.

Happy Saturday you Happy GoodGymmers! Tomorrow's weather is unsettled, there are likley to be showers for the duration of our journey so waterproofs would be a good idea. It will be mild and muggy though, (18°C to 19°C), so no need to wrap up too warm.
