| Just realised that Next monday is a day off for some people Well it is if you are a Banker.(Banker I said!)
How about we attempt to do the Tasty Cheddar Audax route we tried to do a couple of weeks ago and got wind/rained off.
This was the one that started from Create centre in Ashton (by the swing bridge.)
I will try and find the route in a minute and add to this so you can have a look.I did this with Nick last year and I think Mark Waggoner did it as well.Very easy first half then Nice little climb up Cheddar etc.
Found a ruff route

| Count me in too. Do you think we should sacrifice a cow/goat/virgin to appease the Gods only Scott's midnight Pagan good weather dance doesn't seem to cut the mustard anymore. |

| I'm up for it. Even though it might mean doing Cheddar gorge twice in 2 days  Yes, the first part is nice, until you hit the gorge and beyond,,nice hills |

| After each ride strip yourself down, have a long soak in bath of Castrol GTX and you'll go on for years. |

| Since I put the 12-32 on the rear I've only had to use the 32 bit it once, twice oh go on then three times. It's very steep in Wotton! |
