A lovely ride following the River Tone across Curry Moor from the suspension bridge at Ham, via Athelney to Burrowbridge.
Away from main roads, the route mostly follows dirt track (Currymoor Drove), which is bumpy in places but almost completely flat. Joining a lane at Athelney, the last mile is on tarmac before a break at the King Alfred pub at Burrowbridge from where we retrace our steps.
Not suited to road bikes but MTB, hybrid or gravel bike will be fine!
** RIDE UPDATE - Due to the rain over the weekend and subsequent farm vehicle traffic creating a heavily rutted track, the middle section of the route is unsuitable for this ride. Because of this I have taken the decision to shorten the ride at North Curry to ensure an enjoyable experience!**
