Burnham on Sea for a cup of tea. 27


Was invited out for a 50 mile ride to Glastonbury this morning with a couple of Old Gits.  Considered the offer very carefully then declined as last weeks mileage was high and several decent ones planned for this week.  What did happen was, met them at the Uphill Marina and tagged along with them to Mark where we went our separate ways, them to the land of wizards and witches, dragons and goblins, whilst I went to boring old Burnham on Sea.  Lovely sunny day but again, a chilly NW breeze that really warranted long sleeves at the start of the day.


Road Closed?

Well, temporarily at least.  Came across these ladies as we approached Edingworth.  About 50 of them being herded from the farmyard to a nearby field.  Not a problem at all, they were all well behaved and gave us a chance to regroup and get to the front of the 10 cars or so that were waiting.


Wisteria

Left the others in the middle of Mark and went down the Causeway heading to Highbridge and Burnham.  Nice example of wisteria on the house halfway along.  Rode into Burnham with the chilly wind right in the face.   Had tea and toast in the Bay View Cafe and the ride back to Weston was not too bad with the wind coming from the left.


Would have liked the Glastonbury excursion but it was wise to bow out of it.  Certainly a ride to be considered on a Friday in the summer.  Clocked up 27 miles today.
