Sampford Peverell to Cheddar, UK
49 miles, 2,762 feet of climbing
Everything is better when heading to Cheddar because it didn't rain today! Sunshine, light wind and plenty of times to take in the scenery. The only big climb of the day was a one-mile climb we met around mile 17. Prior to that, we had a series of short steep bumps to get over, but, other than that, the rest of the ride was fairly flat or rolling. We made a cafe stop in the very busy town of Bridgewater at about the half-way point of our ride; we sat outside in the sunshine drinking our cappucino and tea.
