Taunton CC 21-6-26
In and around Crocombe the lanes are very narrow and rural—barely ridable in winter, we found in January. On this Midsummer's Day the Quantocks views were divine, but with the year's third bout of crazy-hot weather coming on, it was good to finish the ride before 13:00.

All roads lead to Wivey
Golden Hill segues into Silver Street as you climb up into Wiveliscombe, why? En route, the lanes westward of Ash Priors are pretty gnarly, so too, later, the picturesque but steep Quakinghouse Lane, which goes over the top of West Park Covert, the high ground west of Milverton

Taunton French Weir and North Town
... preceded by the lonely lane over Castleman's Hill. Chilly and windy for mid-June

Broadway loop ccw
Unseasonably strong, gusty west wind blowing sharp squalls in, but great for the eastward reach after the Broadway turn—half the ride was in brilliant sun, and rain jacket never needed

Taunton CC 7-6-26
With the main players absent in Mallorca, today's crew had an unfamiliar look, but despatched the course without incident, at a decent clip.
