Out with the Old Gits 21.6

Tuesday again.  My goodness it flies round so quick.  The Old Gits are doing the 'ordinary, usual route' today which involves a bit of a trek up the fairly steep Banwell Hill past the Caves.  Best give that one a mis at the moment so took an alternative way to the Caffles tea stop by going through the village of Banwell and along the River Banwell to Puxton.  You've guessed it, the flat way. I was joined by another Old Git , this one a knee problem and enjoyed the fairly leisurely spin along the river.  At Caffles, we were joined by the other 11 riders out for the day although another one was 'missing'.  He turned up later, with muddy shorts and legs having tried an 'alternative' way to get to Shipham next Tuesday which involved some wet and muddy bridle paths.  Looked good on the map, but seeing the state of him that was quickly discounted.  We chatted about the best way to see the Tour of Britain in a weeks time and some of us will try another, drier, proper tarmac way on Friday.
The weather was pretty good today, about right for the time of year and after I added some miles out round the hospital, clocked up just under 22 miles today
