Sticking to my mission for 2017 to ditch the sportives and just cycle with mates, 7 of us coffee clubbers headed out on another epic ride. We met at Kilver Court, Shepton Mallet .. the home of the Rapha Archive store, what a co-incidence! Another co-incidence is that a few months back we did a 100mi ride from home to Kilver which the Rapha CC copied a few weeks later and most of this Saturday's 100km route followed one the Rapha CC did themselves earlier in the year. I do love a theme.
Once the essential shopping was done, coffee knocked back and bikes unloaded, we headed off to Wookey Hole and our first climb. Surprisingly this was far worse than the feared Cheddar Gorge, reportedly 1/100 of the best UK climbs, which we were to tackle som 85km into the ride!

Anyway .. apart from me having the our only 2 punctures of the ride and emptying my bank account in the Rapha store, it was a great ride with super company. I’m loving these mates rides.
