Right then – Happy Christimas! here we go then.


I have created a specific google map for the 5 churches that you can all view. With photos too. you can see the map at:-


http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/…..ae24c7cecc


Five churches are:-

in no particular order or preference – up to you which way you want to race like:-


1.Brislington United Reform Church, Grove Park/Bath Road

2.Whitchurch Lane Church at end of Fortfield Road on Whitchurch Lane

3.Clifton Cathedral on Pembroke Road

4.Westbury Park Christian Science Society Church,Westbury Park near Waitrose

5. Horfield Parish Church on Wellington Hill Road,Off Kellaway Avenue


VERY IMPORTANT!

WE START RACING AT 2PM (early due to poor winer light)

SO WE MEET UP BETWEEN 12 AND 2PM AT CAFE GUSTO BY THE WATER ON THE HARBOUR FRONT AS USUAL


I have personally rode this route to ensure we get a good chance to make some time and distance between the riders. But did not want to make it too tricky or too long to find the checkpoints/churches.


Good Luck !


Santas Claws.

Ooh exciting! The google link just takes me to a view of Bristol no churches, might just be me though? Pretty pleased I even know where one of the churches is :)

Looks like a killer for the out-of-towners, but that's to be expected!  On the map there is one waaaayyyyy north by the fucking motorway, is that meant to be there?

It's ok now I'm on an actual computer rather than my phone… I just got a bit confuxed thinking there was a church on the waterfront, until I read the text!

Well done Tim.


Can I bag the Henleaze 'Christian Sciences' checkpoint please?


I want to chill with the scientologists whist hitting the mulled wine.
