Yes, the cafe sounds like a good destination (nice cakes there)

Is that Sweet's Peat and Science Museum? I've always wanted to take a look in there (even before it got a cafe). Don't think I can make it tomorrow though.

There was a Cafe next to the Peat Moors Visitor centre, that is now closed. This one is about half a mile or so on the other side of Westhay on the B3151 where they have the car boot sales on sunday mornings in the summer.

It was indeed a lovely morning and was a tad over 32 miles – which is my longest to date

Maggot’s new Ribble looks awesome – the last I saw of him, he was rushing off home so he could share a soapy bath with this dirty bike before Mrs M got back

Are any of you going to the Dunkery Dash Audax on the 28th?

It's 100km from North Petherton to Dunkery Beacon and back

 

[Davidc]

It would kill me! 20 years ago I'd have joined you.

At the other end of the spectrum - anyone fancy a leisurely Sunday morning Levels ride to celebrate the arrival of spring? Say - April when Easter's out of the way? If so what route?

 

[Monsieur Remings]

Definitely be up for the kind of route shown by the OP. Based in Clevedon and a usual route would see me down to Cheddar on the A38, across to Wells, out of Wells on that lovely climb and back across the hills toward Burrington, back across the 38 and into Congresbury and back to Clevedon from Yatton. All in all around 50 miles and a very nice ride.

Let us know what you're all up to and always up for as many different routes as possible...BUT I AM BLOODY FED UP WITH POTHOLES. The way I go on, people might mistake my hobby for caving.

Hi all back again any rides planned. As i am up for a good ride not been for a while so nice and gentle please

I was out to Sweets at Westhay today, a bit of a chill wind but lovely and sunny

I'd be up for a levels ride some time

 

[BlueDog]

I too was at Sweets today (around 11:00) it was mobbed by the Clevedon Cycling club (who ate all the cakes!), and then there was the "Ride for Haiti" charity run from Westhay Nature Reserve - congestion on the levels

I was with Somer Valley CC and it must have been closer to 12:00 when we got there. I noticed all the cakes had gone so I had to have a bacon butty such suffering!
