Flattish 20 kms to the smallest city in UK. Wells. Lovely cathedral and old houses.
The big deal for today was the climb into the Mendip Hills which started at 22kms just after Wookey Hole. It was very tough with some walking. Unfortunately there was a drizzle mist so no visibility or photos from the top.
The gradient rose to 19% at one stage, so hardest climb so far.
Weather improved as we got closer to Bristol. Stopped at a nice pub for a late lunch run by a couple of Aussies. Got lost in Bristol but eventually found the Hotel which had cheap deals on today.
Met up with Pete and Pat Maczimczk for a lovely dinner at Galssboat Brasserie on the river Avon. Thanks to them for coming to meet us from Weston Super Mare.
Looks like a good ride.
