Thursday Midweek Ride to The Secret Garden Cafe Chard.

This is a super backstreet cafe in Chard which we have not visited much during the past few years. The ride distance is just over 41 miles, although around 11 will be on The Stopline Way path between Ilminster and Chard, which is easy riding. The outward route will be via Stoke St. Mary, Slough Green, Curland, past Broadway onto Horton to Crock Street and down to cross the A358 to join the Stopline Way to Chard, arriving at around 12.15 for brunch or coffee and cake. The return route will follow the Stopline Way to Ilminster where we rejoin the road through to Dillington House, Ilford, Isle Abbots, Curry Mallet and down Rock Hill, then onto North Curry, returning to Taunton, via 13 Bends, Ham and Creech St. Michael. Remember to bring a spare inner tube, waterproofs, water, and snack etc.
