This weeks ride was the warmest and sunniest so far this year! Leaving from Priory School at 9 am we headed out of Worle via St Georges and Wick St Lawrence onto the A370. We then took a left after Puxton Park and took the back lanes and climbed up past Banwells caves to Christon then Loxton. Our next climb took us up over Brent Knoll where we encountered the Freaky Peaky Dualothon competitors running down the hill!. Next we rode to Highbridge taking a right at Mark and across the beautiful somerset levels. A quick puncture repair was needed on one of the carbon bikes making its summer debut before the scheduled stop for a nice cup of tea and a slice of cake at
Sweets Cafe. A challenging climb up Mudgley Hill warmed our legs up before the ride home through Wedmore passed the Windmill and on to Crooks Peak. Our final climb up Bleadon Hill and then the descent into Uphill took us back into Weston and a very busy seafront. This weeks ride totaled 50 miles climbing 1800 ft at an average speed of 15.5 mph. A big thanks to Paul D, Andy, Paul S, Pat, Steve, Jason and Pete.
