Join me on a day off work as i venture into Gloucestershire to take on the Wotton Hill climb. 1.7 miles in length I’ve been down it many times but never up, today’s the day. The forecast is for thundery showers so i hope to get out and back without get wet or electrocuted!!

8.24 -road merging from the left – trying going up ee!!! Bin up it a few times running the risk of ripping meself anuvver asshole!
Disappointing tunnel action in this video, lol. You may want to look at Colliers Way from Radstock. If you follow the Two Tunnels (lol) to Wellow, there a few quiet paths to Radstock. Colliers way will take you nearly to Frome.
Another great vid mate, I didn’t think that hill was going to end.
Creo’s looking good 👍🏻 don’t you upgrade your handlebars to a wider one?
All the best to Rusty.
Another great cycling video around the Cotswolds. Such a lovely part of the world. My Grandma lived in Chipping Camden. I cycled up Dovers Hill on my Dawes Galaxy many years ago . No e bikes back in the day.Music adds to the charm of the video, better than the winning of the bike motor. Love cycling myself.Have an emtb myself, great riding round the Dandenong Ranges. We have lots of cycle trails in Melbourne. Keep up the good work, hope Rusty Nails feels better soon. Maybe fresh air on his bike would clear his head. Take care on your bike, best wishes Tim Melbourne Australia.
Well done again, my pacemaker would have exploded on that hill
Only cycling around Bristol on my Ribble but at 68 loving it
Great ride that. I live in Sodbury and do those roads on a regular basis. Love that climb out of Wotton but just as it starts to ramp up the road condition is rubbish isn't it. Shakes like mad on the way down! If I'm ever feeling brave I like to do the hill out of Uley and that's a real charmer!! But the one that really hurts is the climb out of Dursley, Whiteway Hill. I've got to be on a really good day for that especially at 69 years young!
Great ride that. Know that area well. I think Reinshaw was started by 4 ex RR guys. One of them has a really futuristic house if you’d gone left where the turn like was just after Reinshaw. The house was used in a recent Sherlock Holmes by episode. Swinhay House it’s called. Worth a google.
Echo the other subs comments about the old London road. Drop down off that info Watterly Bottom then you has take a killer of a hill called Warren Hill which bring you up to Stinchconbe Golf course as well.
Cracking course that played in loads of times. You get a good view of the the Tyndale monument. William Tyndale converted the bible into English and was hung for doing so. Local lad, also had a small chapel in little Sodbury.
That’s the local history lesson for today.
Hope rusty picks up soon as well!
Dear me m8 the music is a welcome addition some folk just are never happy it's just adds to the whole video for me 😀
I always enjoy watching your videos, I always look forward to new ones.
And the videos always motivate me to get on my bike.👌👌
