This is a 25 mile ride (honest) with a few manageable hills as part of a scenic circular route, passing through Oake, Nynehead, and returning via milverton and Halse.  The weather is predicted to be warm with a chance of the odd light shower (a bit like the group), so come prepared. It's worth remembering that a spare tube, water and a small snack can be helpful.

Note: Correction - Weekend ride not Saturday ... We've often stopped for coffee or lunch at the Potting Shed, and always been well looked after. Now it's under new management so it's time a weekend ride went there to make sure it's still cyclist friendly and up to the necessary standard! We'll go out through Ham, Hatch Beauchamp, Fivehead and Muchelney (carefully avoiding Rock Hill). After the coffee &/or lunch stop we'll return via Staithe, Burrowbridge, Athelney and 13 bends. This will be a gentle ride of about 40 miles with a few hills, and the aim will be to be back by about 3:30 pm. Leader: David Cox email David
