One positive of the day was trying out some new gloves, well mittens, that proved very effective at keeping the cold out. Roll on Spring. 39 miles clocked up today.

To West Hay and the Cafe was closed! 39
When I got there, the cupboard was bare! Not a bad afternoon for a bike ride, not too much wind and dry and sunny. Headed down to West Hay on the Somerset Levels to visit the Sweets Cafe an ideal spot out on the levels south of Wedmore. Went through Burnham and Highbridge, across through Burtle by the peat factory and found the big gates at Sweets closed and padlocked. Having sacrificed lunch with an expectation of beans on toasts at the cafe it was disappointing to realise that the next cafe would be about 2.5 miles from home at Bleadon. Having travelled 22 miles with 17 to go, there was no option but head down and make for home.

Long way to go to find the cafe closed. Not my sort of cycling, that, Ken. And what’s all this about beans on toast! What has happened to the humble tea cake? Mick
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with a tea cake Mick, staple diet. The thing was, I did not have any lunch so was particularly hungry, and cold to be honest. Making a note of the tea stops phone numbers from now on so I can check before hand. A positive of this was the Old Gits 'training group' were heading that way the next day so I was able to head them off at the pass.
