A cold blow to Burnham 27

Met up with Phil, an Old Git, for a 'training run' down the coast to Burnham on Sea.  A cold wind doth blow today, belting down from the NNW, so rather than get tangled up in sleet showers which were forecast for other parts of North Somerset, heading south on the Somerset Levels.  Did the circuit anti clockwise so the wind was behind us on the way out, but into your face on the way back.  Thanks today to the inventor of the balaclava and hand warmers.

Whoops!

The weather was not conducive to a long ride today so we opted for an easy trip to Burnham.  This is the third time this week!  Several Old Gits indicated they would be out today but just the one turned up on time.  One did phone me just after we left the Beach Hut rendezvous point but never heard the ring.  We did leave it for 7/8 minutes but it was getting cold out on the prom.  Travelling on the Pill Road into Mark, saw this burnt out car in a ditch.  Must have happened last night seeing the Police Aware tape around it.  Odd place for an incident like this, the road is fairly straight at this point.

After tea, toast and a warm at Bay View Cafe, found it a lot colder riding into the wind.  Riding through Berrow and away from the sea front there was some shelter from the wind.  Clocked up 27 miles today, to be honest, that was just enough.
