It was just the other wk my mate Gaz found a new route, so i decided to give it a go with him, only 12 miles he said, excellent that would just do me as didn't want to push myself to hard as i had been feeling a bit iffy.
We started off at a steady pace until we got to Dunster i could feel the strava calling, i needed to claim back my crown ! I stopped for a moment so Gaz could take off a layer, or was it part of a cunning plan ?
As we reached the end of the segment i felt that it was in the bag.
We rode on through the woods and onto moorland we kept climbing Stopping now and then to take in the view, it was a really clear day and you could see wales in the distance, and the Quantock hills too.. It was just like being on top of the world..
We stopped for a snack at the edge of the fire road and checked out the map, we wanted to come out at the tall tree wood, do the crunchy track and back home.
It was all going good until we got to the tall trees, the old war wound started giving me jip and i started to struggle a bit, but with a little encouragement from Gaz, and with the thought of some very useful medication waiting for me at home, i pushed on.
It was a cracking ride here's the slide show.
