Uphill to The Mendips & back

  APOLOGIES, this bike ride has been postponed. Both Madi & Emma can't make it!! Sorry folks. We will try and rearrange, if our diaries allow. This ride takes us from Uphill by the sea to the Mendips and back. We’ll meet at the Uphill Boat Yard outside Wharfside Tea Rooms for a quick bike check and warm up before we head off. We’ll be taking on a small section of the Great Weston Ride (a fabulous 56-mile challenge bike ride from Bristol to Weston-super-Mare that follows a spectacular route through the Mendips and across the Somerset Levels on 21 July 2013 for more information see the website. We will be riding through the villages of Bleadon, Winscombe, Churchill, Burrington, Charterhouse, Cheddar, Axbridge and Cross, please see the route map. This is a 35 mile long ride, hilly in places (up Burrington Combe!), along a few main roads ideal for experienced riders.  It's a good idea to bring some water plus lots of energy for this long ride!   Please bring some money if you want to buy refreshments afterwards when we get back, where there'll be time for more chat and a drink or bite to eat at the tea rooms.  You’ll also need a spare inner tube and puncture repair kit. Wearing a helmet is advisable; if you don’t have one please do not to worry you can still take part.  If you enjoy the bike ride and would like to come again perhaps you could look to buy one then.  Please ensure a mobile number is provided in case the road is cancelled due to inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances.   If you've any questions please contact Emma Ruffle on 07718 376168 or [email protected] For more information on all of your rides please like our Facebook page Breeze network Somerset We are a friendly bunch and really welcome newcomers to our rides! Look forward to seeing you there!
