Cheesy Challenge Achieved!

Reports No Comments
  Another wet one last night but that didn't stop us. A cracking ride out through Puxton, Sandford, Winscombe on to the A38 left to Axbridge and over to Cheddar. The Gorge was dry and quiet so made for a nice ascent. Luke took the KOM this time round just beating Gareth by 6 seconds. A fast descent down Burrington  followed and then  it was back to Weston. A big thanks to Luke, Daniel, Ben, Rich, Gareth and Andrew. See you all sunday. The club is now actively seeking new members so you are welcome to join us. :
