WARNING
The council have been out and about and are trying to spoil a bit of your fun
The stretch of the
A372 from Westonzoyland to the bridge over the M5 at Bridgwater has just been resurfaced (yesterday I think). It's that lovely "let's spray a bucket of tar and then dump 2 tons of gravel on it - it'll be ok"

The road is covered in loose gravel and there's one bend that looks lethal for bikes ... cars and tractors have made the two-wheel ridges (tar showing so may be iffy if it rains) and the rest is just cat litter. I've got a new chip on the windscreen from a van going the other way - neither of us were going at all fast
There's also a bit about
a mile before Westonzoyland where there's a side road which has been done and the gravel from it has spread across the corner of the main road (nice left-hander by the old airfield that's used for bike training).
BE CAREFUL (or maybe change the route a bit).
