This Sundays ride was touch and go for a moment as peering through the curtain all I could see was wind, cloud and driving rain. But then a break in the clouds signaled the ride was on! Leaving from Priory School at 9 am we headed out through kewstoke along the toll rd and Beach front to uphill. Next the route took us to Brean, Burnham and Highbridge and on to Mark Causeway although closed to cars it was clear for us cyclists. By now we could really feel the sun on our backs and a lovely tail wind followed us through Wedmore and onward to Cheddar. The journey back took us along the A38 and then right at churchill lights, passed Burrington and left back towards the A38. Straight across to Wrington and on to Congresbury. whilst waiting at the lights the car in front broke down and so Paul G and Mark B leaped into action and gave the stranded motorist a push to a safer place to stop, no mean feet in Cleats I have to say!. Finally it was head down and a group effort again back into Weston. The ride totaled 57 miles at an average speed of 15.8 mph with 1700 ft of climbing. a big thanks to Mark B, Paul G, Paul S, Jonathon Andy B, Pete and Dave.
