Ten riders turned up prepared for the predicted downpour.
We headed for Rich's Cider farm but by the time we got to the end of the toll road we had already dropped Neil. His excuse was he wanted to put his coat on. While we were stopped I introduced everyone to my latest cycling wardrobe addition - a shower cap to cover my helmet. I think I might have heard a few mocking comments :-) but I was laughing later when my head was nice and dry.
The ride was tough with the cold temperature and constant rain. Mars and Ian elected not to stop at the cafe but head straight home. They missed the mini full breakfast which was excellent value at £3.
The ride back was via Wedmore and into a head wind. We managed to miss most of the floods except Winscombe high street but it was'nt very deep.
Ivan discussed the possibilty of getting some club jersey's made up. Not sure on cost yet but he will be producing some designs for our approval.
If you are going to the Xmas meal at Burrington don't forget to tell Mars and more importantly give her the money as its getting close now and she needs to book it (£15).
