Xmas Ride out 28th December

Post by Tvrv37 »

I'm going for a ride out to relieve the excruciating boredom of Xmas to the New Year. It'll be Thursday 28th depending on the weather so may get cancelled closer to the time.

The ride will start 10am be fuelled and ready to go at Wellington Shell Service Station TA21 9AD It's next to a McDonald's so you can grab a pre-ride coffee. The exact route will be weather and road condition dependent. We will head off towards the coast and grab coffee and a bite to eat in Watchet/Blue Anchor/Minehead area depending on what is open then head back towards Cheddar and up into the Mendips via Cheddar Gorge. with the rideout finishing at Taunton Sainsbury's mid afternoonish. Sorry to be so vague but some roads are nothing short of scary this time of year and we can cut short or lengthen the rout on the fly dependent on prevailing weather conditions.

If there are no names down I'll pull the start point back nearer my home.

Not to worry, weather permitting I should see you at the petrol forecourt Thursday for the 10.00 start.
