It's fun to stay at the (Bridgwater) YMCA: This is a thirty mile round trip, starting at The Weir and heading out through Creech St Michael and up Thirteen Bends, Somerset Levels and a bit of the canal before stopping at the YM for coffee and cakes. The return journey is via North Petherton, North Newton and both Creeches. It will be a moderate pace with Thirteen Bends the only hill of any significance! If it is rainy there will be a shorter ride, if raining heavily there will be a soacial do in the cafe. Ride Leader: Hazel

Tail of the Hurricane: This describes the likely weather, not the pace of our ride. Given the forecast for Tuesday plans have been amended. We will have a shorter, circular ride around Taunton giving us several options! i. If the weather is as predicted, we have a coffee and talk about our greatest rides for a couple of hours. ii. The weather starts well, we set off on our ride until it gets wet, we turn for home and have a coffee at base. iii. The weather stays fine, we complete the route and have coffee on the road and then return! I hope this sounds OK? I didn't want us out in West Somerset and getting a drenching.
