Hey Ben,

Nope! Although I can see why you might think that. Was round Stockbridge I think, a couple of years ago.

Paging Fizz, he's from around there.

You could always make a day of it and go over the bridge to Wales, there's two things the Welsh can do properly, and that's roads and dodgy rugby tackles (JOKING!!!)

Where abouts exactly are you in Somerset then ? I do most of my riding in Dorset mind... just because I know those roads better...

Go from Bridgwater to Langport on the A372

Zig Zag Hill just outside Shaftesbury, in fact go from Shaftesbury towards Blandford through Stourpaine then come back on yourself towards Sherborne, through Bishops Caundle / Alweston.

The whole section from Shaftesbury down the A30 to Sherborne.

Your other option is go down the A39 from Bridgwater to Minehead and then onto Porlock Hill and then out onto Exmoor. Then onto Lynmouth and then head for Barnstaple ( OK I know thats Devon ) but it is good riding, just watch for sheep and beaware that the corners can be deceptive and tighten up on you and will catch you out.

Your other option is head down into Dorset then go from Bridport to Weymouth on the coast road, taking you through Burton Bradstock, its a 50mph limit so watch your speed in tourist season, but good fun still...

Depends how far away you are really, but make a day out of it and take in some of that lot and I really doubt you'll be disappointed...
