A short Friday ride with some Old Gits. 23

The Friday ride out with some Old Gits started as an extra for a short time for those who had entered the 'Great Weston Ride' and wanted to increase fitness.  This has now progressed and has become a normal part of some Old Gits weekly schedule, with yours truly having taken on the role of ride 'captain' organising this weekly event.

Five of us turned up this morning with a destination set as Sweets, the popular cafe near West Hay on the Somerset Levels.  Myself and another Old Git were not really up to a 40+ mile jaunt so we peeled off at Mark and returned to Weston.  Not many tea stops on our way back.  We did try the Post Office in Rooksville but they only serve cold drinks.  No good to us on this frosty morning.  One last chance was a new diner that has been opened on the A370 at a car sales plot near Lympsham.   It is a bit too near Weston but as we were getting a bit desperate, any port in a storm.  A mug of tea for £1 so not too bad.  Nice clean place.  Got back to Weston feeling better for that cuppa and with 23 miles to add to our totals.
