Took the train to Bridgwater today to take advantage of the southerly wind. Got on the train at Weston and as it pulled out of the station, I realised I hadn't got a helmet on. What a muppet. Better get another one especially after the tumbles we have been having lately. On the 20 minute journey down, looked on the inter web and saw that there was a cycle shop only about 100 yards from the railway station on the journey back. Sorted then until I got to the shop and found it closes on a Saturday. What a way to run a business. Asked a passer by and he told me of a Halfords not too far away. Went there and bought a new helmet. £30 was the marked price and at the till it was £21. That'll do, although it is still an expensive lapse of memory.
Back to the trip out. Amazingly warm for the first day of December. Had a good ride back partially driven by the wind and detoured off the main road onto the side roads going back through Puriton and Woolavington. Called in for the obligatory cup of tea (this time with bread pudding) at the Bay View Cafe in Burnham. From there, it was an easy ride back to complete 31 miles. No photos on this outing.
