At the next bridge heading away from Gloucester I would suggest following the road. The tow path is really only designed for MTB's and walkers. Although I managed it on a road bike, it was bone dry and the grass was short.

Possibly best avoid on road bike in the winter, except the section from Elmore into Gloucester, which has a pristine surface. The rest is great on any bike during a dry spell.
