Out with the 'Friday Riders' for an easy morning going down to Burnham. All our 'training' is done now and this is the last outing before the GWR (Great Weston Ride) on Sunday. No hills today, no rush, but the headwind on the return leg was a bit of a spoiler. Although six Old Gits are doing the GWR it was pleasing to see 11 members turned out today. There was a bit of a mechanical with a slow puncture but that got sorted OK. We headed south from Weston and went across the Somerset Levels, through Lympsham, Mark and over to West Huntspill.
Carrying on through Highbridge, we ended up at Lizzie's Breakfast, a little diner in the corner of Apex Park. Whilst ordering our tea and bread pudding we noticed they have introduced a loyalty card, 10 visits = a free cup of tea. The amount of times I call there, that is a must have. The remainder of the ride back to Weston was through Berrow and the nature reserve at Uphill, it was slightly against the wind but no real problem. Finished on just under 34 miles, well pleased with that and looking forward to Sunday's GWR
