Ended up doing M4, Chepstow, Lydney, Gloucester and back home. 119 miles in all, but we didn't set out until 12:30!
Of course this meant crossing the old Severn bridge. I hated that feckin' thing in a cage (got a thing about bridges, me), but on a bike c7u8 c7u8
Spent the entire crossing chanting 'I hate this, I really don't like this Alan, I'm not happy, I really, really don't like this'. I know it's only a matter of minutes, but it felt like forever. Jesus H, I HATE THAT BRIDGE.
Still, nice rideout (apart from THAT BRIDGE) and another one set for tomorrow.
And before anybody thinks of suggesting the Clifton suspension bridge, don't even think about it. No way. Not on your life. Not a snowball in hell's chance. NO!
