A cracking ride out to Burnham 33

A cold but sunny morning, far too nice to stay indoors today.  Went down to Burnham on Sea and really enjoyed the morning.. Compared to yesterday, pushing that heavy MTB around, getting back on the road bike was a breeze.  One 'scary' moment when turning into a lane, was confronted with a huge tractor decimating the hedgerows.  The road surface was covered in twigs and smashed up branches and the word 'puncture' kept crossing my mind.  It wasn't to be thankfully, obviously have had my share.  Also came across a big lorry stuck in the mud of a farm gateway.  I think the driver has summoned assistance because he was fitting a tow rope to the front of the vehicle. I did offer to pull him out but not sure he saw the funny side of that one.


Went through Mark and Highbridge and stopped at the Bay View Cafe for a cuppa.  Back through the nature reserve at Uphill in positively spring like weather and finished up on 33 miles.
