Blown back from Bridgwater 22

Storm Brian has arrived!   40/50 mph winds forecast, especially on the coast so might as well take advantage of a bit of help.  Caught the 1122 ( 8 minutes late tut tut) and joined 3 other bikes on the train south. Travelled back partly on the A38 but moved inland a bit and travelled back to Weston via Wollavington, Mark and Bleadon.

Bridgwater Station

A nice old station this one, it was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel and dates from the mid 1840s.  It is a grade 2 listed building.  It isn't far from here to the main road through Bridgwater, the A38.  Just north of Bridgwater, turned off the main road and was blown along nicely through Puriton to Woolavington.  Riding north from there to Mark the wind seemed to have veered slightly to the SW and was over the left shoulder but still helping along.  Was using the big chain ring throughout and working fairly hard, in fact the average mph through the 2 miles of Mark Causeway was 17. Move over Wiggo.

Clocked up 22 plus miles and 108 for the week plus 2 miles not recorded by Strava getting to Weston Rail Station.
