케인샴 주변 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

Go west-east, much better, just a thrilling descent down to the Winford road. There is a section beforehand but it's straight off the main road with only a grassy verge to ride along to connect to Freeman's Lane, and no island to make the A38 less lethal.

lush trip smooth

At a main crossroads of the Bristol - Bath cycle path, there is this. Mangotsfield railway station. It's now been taken over by nature & is utterly gorgeous! Opened in 1869, and lasting all the way to closing 100 years later, it had a really good run! It goes to show how quickly times were changing in the 19th & 20th centuries. What I love about it is that it's been left there. It's so surreal & beautiful. The platforms are obvious, a similar height to today, and there's a waiting room structure as well. It's all been reclaimed by nature in the last (almost) 50 years. If we allow nature the time and space; it will come back.

The ford is still pretty deep after a few months of little rain, and there's definitely a few puddles sticking around, probably wouldn't go through them on the basis of the farms all around. 💩

Flat out from the top of AC and giving access to the back of the estate. Linking Bridleways and XC trails along the way

Wear clothes to cover your legs, parts are quite overgrown with nettles. (end May 2024)

Super fast gravel linking to the main road at the top and bottom. Great way to link up byway to Land Yeo river crossing

Great place in the summer with a bridge that gives you 800 mm of handlebar clearance you can clear on a gravel bike but not so on modern MTB bars
