7 riders left the square promptly at 8.30 unfortunately Colin must have just missed us. We left the square via a new route through the shopping centre because of the of the Glos 10k to Eastgate Street and out past the park to Tuffley through Kingsway expertly guided through by Jim. Then through Stonebench Elmore Saul up to Whitminster and through the New Estate Great Oldbury. The ride leader then took the group on a magical mystery tour through Stonehouse on some paths that not even Neville or Alastair had been on before! We then reverted to norm going through Stanley Downton through to Frocester turning left at Coaley after which there was some speculation as to which way we would go at the top of Coaley. The ride leader chose the easiest shorter route up Ashmead Road and then down into Dursley where Colin was waiting for us at the Bank café where refreshments were taken.
