A ride of two halves to Burnham on Sea 26

Two very different halves thanks to the quite strong SE wind blowing at about 20 mph.  Going out from Weston, it was straight into it until Mark.  At times, on the exposed areas of the Levels, it was down to the 'granny ring' to make any progress.  At Mark, turning west to Highbridge and Burnham, what a difference that was. Zoomed along the Mark Causeway and all the way, virtually, into Burnham where it was tea and toast at the Bay View Cafe. It was wind assisted from there back to Weston.


Brean Down Way

This fencing (I think the artist had mislaid the spirit level when it was designed) marks the mid point on the cycle path that runs between Weston Super Mare and Brean Down.  This is at a sluice gate that controls the sea and the River Axe and acts as a bird hide so that passers by can see the wading birds that forage at the waters edge.


Well, half the ride was OK.  Mileage today was 26.5.
