This Weeks ride was a tale of two Coombes. Leaving from Priory School at 9.00am as usual, we headed out of Weston via St Georges and on to the A370. Struggling against a strong head wind, we powered on to our first challenge, Brockley Coombe. The steady climb proved a real challenge so early in the ride, as our legs had not yet warmed up. Once passed the Airport, we headed down Red Hill on the A38 and were met with a very dodgy cross wind, so it was hands tight on the handle bars. Our 2^nd climb of the day was a busy Burrington Coombe, as  British Cycling were holding a Junior 2 day cycling event across the Mendips. A special well done to new rider Neil, climbing Burrington on his first attempt.  Turning right to Charterhouse and then descending the gorge we stopped off for a well-earned tea stop. The ride home took us through Axbridge onto Loxton and in to Weston via Bleadon. This week’s ride totalled 42 miles with 2500ft of climbing and an average speed of 15mph. A big thanks go to Steve B, Andy J, Pete G, Andy P, Duncan, Rob, Jody, Ben, Andy B, Steve P, Paul G, Paul S, Neil and Pete M. The Wheelers are taking on new members and you are welcome to join us. We leave from Priory School, Sundays at 9.00am and Wednesdays at 6.00pm. Happy Cycling
