Weather looks iffy for tomorrow so may be low turn out again. Enjoyed the ride to Frome so that's always a possibility.

Ride details:-
It was a fast ride to Langport.
Unfortunately on the way back just outside Glastonbury Jennie had a rear flat and we spent quite a bit of time trying to get the valve extender to seal with the inner tube valve so we could pumb it up. This involved a trip to a bike shop in Glastonbury for a replacement valve extension but they had never heard of such a device! In the end we bodged it with some ptfe tape.
Cafe stop was at The Potting Shed - Langport
Ride Length = 80 miles
Average speed = 16.6 mph
Elevation gain = 2481 feet

You don't know how inappropriate that sounds - flat rear, valve extensions and pumping! Stats won't look too good with that delay in the middle.
