forecast for saturday ain't good, so don't hold your breath.... it could be sweets!
however, neil, meirion and i recce'ed a new route around the quantocks today which included a nice range of terrain. paul and i rode a similar route a fortnight ago but failed to find a decent cafe at the half way point being watchet/williton. however, we had a stroke of luck this time when an old lady at the bus stop in williton put us onto an ideal cafe stop in doniford. lots of room for bikes, loads of seating inside and out and good food, meirion's sandwich/cake masterpeice was a steal at £6 which included tea.
i had 77 miles, but this was direct from my house and using the A38 both ways to bridger. i suspect it'll be more like 85/90 by the time we've gone around the toll road, through burnham and woolavington, but it's well worth it.
we can even make it a 2 stopper if we make a cheeky raid on the walled garden in cannington on the return.
if not this weekend, we'll do it on the next dry saturday.
