A Mendip Metric Century
I set out to get up onto Priddy on top of the Mendips via Chew Valley Lake. I managed to follow a large amount of the National Cycle Route. Lots of very quiet but undulating country lanes and an excellent desent through East Harptree with Chew Valley Lake in full view. Not sure how much climbing was involved but it felt like a lot although not quite up there with The Rhondda Valley 🙂 !
I got close to home at the 50 mile mark so with no commitments for the rest of the day decided I may as well stick a little loop on the end (as flat as I could think of) to make it up to a century.
It was a cracking day for it although very cold & blustery up on the Mendips with a few bits of snow still lying about.
After all that effort it is now time for an unwholesome Saturday night to undo the good work!
