This is going to be an amazing ride with lots of sunshine and the temperature rising to at least 20C it will have a couple of little hills and is likely to be about 35 miles, all with a tail wind to help us along.   It is only going to have a very exclusive few attending (all of which are the real deal Cycle Somerset members ) which is primarily what will make it such an enjoyable event.    As the white post cafe is now under new management, and as I have not yet been there (since the change of ownership)  I thought it a good oppourtunity to try it out this Saturday, possibly for Brunch :-) We will only be stopping for coffee and cake so should be back home in time for a late lunch. Looking forward to seeing you all and having a jolly enjoyable morning.   Meet - Vivary Park Bandstand 09:30 Ride Leader :- Ross.

The route back (if I haven’t drunk too much cider) will be via Kingstone, Dillington, Ilford, Isle Abbotts, Curry Mallet, down Rock Hill, North Curry, 13 Bends and arriving back in Taunton around 3.15pm.

Hestercombe Hop: This is a 20 mile round trip, a little hilly on the way out but all manageable. Heading out through Lyngford, Cheddon Fitzpaine, Thurloxton, the back way up to the Quantocks and a drop down to Hestercombe for a coffee. On return we head for Kingston, Fitzroy, Norton, Hillfarrance, to Bishop's Hull and home. This is a slightly shorter, circular ride given the promise of rain! Waterproofs, tubes etc recommended. Ride Leader: Mandy

Easy going ride with some hills out through Oake, Nynehead and Langford Budville. Returning via Rockwell Green, Angersleigh and Trull. About 27 miles. Thursday weather forecast is looking reasonable but expect a shower or two and wet roads. Come prepared. Ride Leader: Pete W

Pitney Pootle: This is a 35 mile round trip, out via Creech St Michael, 13 Bends, North Curry, Stoke St Gregory and along the lower route through to Langport followed by a slight wiggle up to Pitney for coffee at the farm shop. On the way back we return via Wearne, Aller, Othery, Burrowbridge and, eventually, back down 13 Bends and home. The weather is not hugely promising so weatherproofs in order...or we'll cut it a little shorter and make coffee our priority! Ride Leader: Paul "Noah" Harper 

With a song in her heart Barbara will lead us to Fyne Court. Fingers crossed for good weather but come prepared for this autumn ride. Bring along the usual inner tube, water and a snack if needed. Give a thought to the proposal for a ride out from Cossington on Tuesday 22nd Oct. We would all need to get our bikes over there for 10:00 a.m.(leaving Taunton around 9:00 a..m) and return around 2:00 p.m. We can discuss this over coffee on Tuesday. Any problems and you can contact me through the email link in my name below.
