Distance = 40 miles, Difficulty = 3\/5<\/p>\n

Seven riders made the trip across the bridge for an excellent ride over in North Somerset. Starting from Yatton Station and following the Strawberry Line to Cheddar, passing through the medieval town of Axbridge. The next challenge was the 2 mile Cheddar Gorge, the cyclists winding through the limestone cliffs including one brute of a corner measuring 16% which really tested the legs. Everyone made it though, and with a stop at the Queen Victoria Inn at Priddy for coffee, it was downhill to Wookey Hole via the very steep Deer Leap lane. Once back on the main road at Wells, it was a pedal down along the rolling main road to Cheddar before picking up the Strawberry Line back to Yatton.<\/p>\n

We were joined on the ride by Michael and Linda Malolepszy from Newport Social Cycling, we hope that you enjoyed the ride.<\/p>\n
