This is a ride out to the Winter Stream Farm pub in Winterbourne, which serves a carvery daily and their giant cakes! We'll stop there for lunch - the rest of their menu can be found using the link below. We start by heading out on the Portway and then through Blaise Castle Estate, then through Almondsbury. It is mostly a mix of shared paths and quiet lanes with some stretches on road. Total distance is approximately 45km. Most of the route is flattish apart from a bit of a climb up through Almondsbury. The pace will be fairly casual. The surface is mostly tarmac or paved with some sections of hard-packed gravel, which might be a little rough for very narrow tyres (<25mm). Meeting place is outside the Nova Scotia Pub, Hotwells. I'll be on a silver Ribble bike. We'll set off at 10:00am, please arrive in good time. *Distance* 45km/28mi *Ascent* 336m/1,100ft *Menu* [https://www.farmhouseinns.co.uk/pubs/avon/winter-stream-farm/menu](https://www.farmhouseinns.co.uk/pubs/avon/winter-stream-farm/menu) *Route GPX* [https://connect.garmin.com/app/course/319139982](https://connect.garmin.com/app/course/319139982) What3Words [https://what3words.com/appear.nails.chest](https://what3words.com/appear.nails.chest) The weather is looking okay for Saturday at the moment, but we are in a changeable period so prepare for showers! Please respect that we ride in a group and the ride leader has to make decisions on behalf of the group, which should be followed. The ride leader will stop for catch-ups, at junctions and hills. Please avoid overtaking the leader as this can lead to people getting lost. Your bike should be recently ridden and in good order. You should bring a spare inner tube for your bike. This is to avoid holding up the rest of the group. There is likely to be someone on the ride who can help mend a puncture, although this is not guaranteed.
