We decided to start our ride with an examination of the new Dry Bridge near Rattery, replaced during the course of the past six months and now almost ready to open. It all looked very impressive, although our estimate of cost at £500k turned out to be wildly out when we checked online later - it actually cost £1.6m!

From here we invented a new evening ride, taking us along the cycle route through Rattery and then down what seemed like a very long descent to Huxham's Cross. We returned along Colston Road as darkness fell.
