A Long Cycle

On Friday I left my car at work which led to the inevitable task of needing to get it back, in order to make it a bit more fun we decided to cycle in to collect it.  At just under 17 miles following the Avon way and then the Avon trail into Bristol it was the longest cycle that we'd attempted to date.   The first part of the route followed the path of the M5 to Portbury and was very nice with slight hills in places.  We then went through Pill which was a bit confusing as there was a lack of signs and then we cycled in along the river to Bristol.  Obviously I was then  quite hungry as my porridge breakfast could only sustain me for a certain amount of time.  We originally intended to eat at the Tobacco Factory but somehow their menu didn't seem stodgy enough after the cycle so we settled for the Lounge instead. We both had the Crayfish ciabatta with lime mayonnaise and some chips to share.  The sandwich in itself was very tasty but the mayonnaise was bit runny which led to both of us especially Dom getting into a terrible mess.  The chips were in fact fries and they were plentiful.  All in all marks out of 10 would be a 7. Okay for a snack in town but nothing special.
