A full team today. When we start our actual trip on the 28th June we intend to split the day's cycling up with regular stops. This is in an attempt to prevent fatigue, rather than resting once it has set in. Today we tried to do a long ride with these stops in place. It did not go exactly to plan but we all agreed that these stops are a considerable help. With a long day planned, we decided to cycle on the Somerset levels as much as possible so as to not over do it. In Glastonbury we joined up with "Insurance Nick" and headed across the levels through Westhay, Mark, Webbington (you see the Webbington Country Club when travelling on the M5 just north on the Brent Knoll service area) and finally for lunch at Cross near Axbridge. Our return trip took us through Brent Knoll, East Huntspill, Woolavington, Cedzoy, Burrow Bridge, Langport and home. With all the extra miles that Rev Trev has to do for paying the price of living in Yeovil, he is going to be the fittest of the hasbeans. Todays photos are of the beautiful scenes we get to experience cycling off the beaten track. These were taken from a path that runs alongside King's Sedgemoor Drain near Weston Zoyland. Well worth a visit whether your transport is foot or cycle.
