I've created 3 new audax routes to use as possible regular DIYs. Level Out - the Glastonbury loop which I've already done, I've now tweaked the route for better controls. Level Up, the Uphill (village) one & Level Best, the 200km grand tour taking in the best of the Somerset Levels #cycling #audax

2 pictures from a 40km ride yesterday afternoon, a lovely postbox topper from the Talaton Knit and natter group for a certain bears 100th birthday, and also visited Devons newest nature reserve, Clyst Meadows near Exeter #afternoonride #cycling #whinniethepooh #pooh100 #nature #wildlife

Pictures from a walk yesterday afternoon at Langport. It was a short circular walk beside the river Parrett then over the hill, through the Hanging Gate past the church and back through the town. Only takes about an hour #afternoonwalk #riversidewalk #RiverParrett #Langport #Somerset

I rode 1630km on one. Luckily the gamble paid off 👍

Got out on the Genesis this morning with the new Pirelli Cinturato tyres. These were a miss buy as I wanted the allroad tyres & ordered the hard pack gravel tyres by mistake. But rather than send them back I decided to stick with them 🚴‍♂️👍 #cycling #GenesisBikes #PirelliTyres #GravelTyres 1/2 👇

Went for a walk instead of a cycle as it was pretty damp and drizzly this morning. Did a bit of foraging and came home with a pocket full of sweet chestnuts 🌧🌳🌰 #morningwalk #autumn #chestnuts

My new tyres arrived, only they don't look like the ones pictured when ordered them. Yet the packaging says they are the same tyres 🤔 Don't know whether to use them anyway or send them back #cycling #pirellityres

Out on the riverside path yesterday morning, it was at this point I realised that was a bad idea just wearing mitts 🥶 Thankfully it didn't take to long to warm up #cycling #autumn #coldmornings

Well I'll be honest, that could have gone better. To much faff, didn't eat or drink enough. Didn't put enough thought into the route before riding it. That routing error near Burtle neatly cost me the whole audax alone. Weather was cracking though 👌 #cycling #audax #diyaudax #Glastonbury

It seems the pubs are few and far between too, I stopped at Sweets tea rooms for an ice cream and had a Brief stop at The Duck, now with only 20km to go I'm at the King Alfred in Burrowbridge (Burrow Mump) #cycling #audax #Somerset #diyaudax

When I picked this route I didn't give a lot of thought to possible pitstops. The return leg is,very rural with only a few village pubs and very headwindy too #cycling #audax #Somerset #diyaudax

Back on the audax game with an easy 100 around the Somerset Levels with Glastonbury as the central port of call. First stop has to be the Bridge Canteen, busy this morning too 🌤🚴‍♂️☕️🥐 #cycling #audax #diyaudax #Somerset

Out walking yesterday afternoon and a small river near me has completely dried up, all that lies there until the rain returns are a few puddles.

That's one of the rivers that runs from the Blackdown hills, it's been dry since the middle of July.

Went exploring some glavel this morning as I'd never been along the riverside path, so headed out that way and came back to town via the canal #cycling #GenesisBikes #adventurebike #morningride #Taunton

Nice 42 mile ride this afternoon to Exmouth, and a change from the usual loop including Budleigh as well with a bit of gravel in Rydon Lane & Lympstone thrown in. Coffee & brownie at the ice cream kiosk although it was chuffin windy on the seafront 💨🚴‍♂️😬☕️👍 #cycling #afternoonride
