  • Never rode a bike in the UK, so we're planning for next year's summer holiday. How about this route a friend of mine drew up for a bike trip from Bristol > Newcastle? Needs to be refined obviously, but

    • are the A roads rideable?
    • are we missing out on nicer parts?

    Suggestions are most welcome, cheers!

  • I would be very tempted to start the route with a slight diversion into the Cotswolds; Stroud, Fairford, Lechlade, Cheltenham etc - some really beautiful English countryside around there, lovely quiet roads, still plenty bumpy but not compared to what you've got scheduled for later. Is also riddled with charming pubs.
