C+ Quantocks Route...

I did the route today as I was visiting family round the corner.
35 miles (I skipped the start in Bridgwater) through some beautiful countryside, with 2 KILLER climbs (for me anyway!) and luckily enough a warm, sunny and fairly windless day. I'd highly recommend it and I reckon with a little imagination it could easily be extended to 50-60 miles and for those of you who love nasty climbs there are a couple more you can easily add up on to the hills themselves again. Being so great for MTB'ing as well you could do what I did and bring your other bike and get off-road for a 2nd day of stunning riding as well.
I just wish they would replace those poor line drawn route maps with a decent street map version to make the route planning a little easier, or better still offer a link to a downloadable route map somewhere.
Well worth a visit if you havent been to the Quantocks before 8)
