Five Old Gits go to West Hay 38

With the forecast for the weekend being icy wind with a possibility of snow, it might be prudent to join in with the Old Gits on a Friday ride.  Just want 17 for the hundred this week so shouldn't be a problem going out on the Levels to the Sweets Cafe near West Hay.  Met up one the promenade at Weston and went out to Burnham, Highbridge to West Hay.  Not a bad sort of day, quite sunny although the southerly wind was in our faces nearly all the way to the cafe.


Tempting offer!

The road into Burtle goes past the village hall and could not but help notice this invitation.  Not the Slimming World one, the Breakfast Club next Sunday.  Talk about opposites.  Very tempting to have a ride down on Sunday but looking at the forecast, discretion is the better part of valour.  Carried on to Sweets Cafe for tea and a rather nice date/oatmeal cake before heading back to Weston with the wind behind us virtually all the way.  At times it almost felt like a summers day!


Clocked up 38 miles today.  Had a good week, 122 miles, better than the target and a chance to put the feet up whilst snow, ice, and minus degrees are all around.
