Today's Easter Club Ride, took us to the beautiful Quantocks. The weather forecast predicted rain, but when we left from Priory School at 9.00am (bst) the blue sky was starting to show through the clouds. The route took us out through St Georges over to Christon and Loxton and around Brent Knoll. Crossing over the A39 we headed for West Huntspill towards Woolavington riding into a cruel headwind. We ploughed on through the wind on to Bridgwater, and over to the beautiful Quantocks. Next it was the main event, Enmore Hill!! A category 4 climb for over a mile. Once at the summit and about half way round the route it was time for a cafe stop with a nice cup of tea and a slice of cake. The journey home kicked off with a fantastic descent down through the Quantock Hills and Villages back into Bridgwater. The final fifteen miles home there was a welcome tail wind that took us through Mark and the back lanes into Weston.
This weeks ride totaled 65 miles, with 2,500ft of climbing, at an average speed of 15.5mph. A big thanks go to Jeremy, Jason, Aron, Andy, Paul D, Pete G and Pete M.
The Wheelers are currently taking on new members, so why not come along one Sunday morning and join the group.
