With some Old Gits to Sweets 38

Friday, 'training' day with six other Old Gits.  Met near the sea front at Weston and cycled out through Uphill where we picked up two more. Heading out on a chilly morning (still wore shorts though) over the Somerset Levels to Sweets Cafe near the village of Westhay to the SW of Weston.  Came across two road closure signs but that didn't stop the intrepid Old Gits.  We risked it and made it through.  Good job, the second one, in the village of Burtle would have meant a diversion of around 8 miles and across the hills near Calcott, but the workers had stopped for a cup of tea as we went through.
Tea and cake at Sweets then continued the circular route back to Weston without incident and in the sunshine which made it a bit warmer at the end of the ride than it was in the beginning.

 

Total today was 37.9 miles which rounds up nicely to 38.
