Must admit I use your method, Minky. Head out stop and top if Burrington and make a decision then. Lots of options up there.
Ideas for a mendips ride finishing with chips in Burnham are formulating....

Hoped for that too, went up there a couple of days after they'd done some stretches and it was awful, slip sliding round those bends is not fun. They appear to have only done odd sections too
I could hear the paint being chipped off my bellypan as we rode
If I were you I'd head out of Bristol on the 37, turn to Cheddar by the Mendip Inn (superb food) then turn toward Burrington, head left at the bottom toward Churchill and pickup the Cheddar road. Through the bottom of the Gorge and towards Axbridge then left onto Burnham.
*watch out for the camera on that stretch*
Lovely roads and not a bad distance either for you
Could always go straight on at the bottom of Burrington on the way back and pickup the Bath / Bristol road for a bit of variety
Bear in mind the festival starts on Wed so we'll be knee deep in vans, cars and diesel spewing buses / coaches
