Just arrived on holiday staying in Mells near Frome, wondering if anyone fancies taking me out on a loop? Also I forgot my Garmin stem mount of anyone local can lend/sell me one?
Hopefully you will get some more replies, but maybe these two rides of mine might give you some ideas.
Smaller hills south west on mostly quiet lanes. https://www.strava.com/activities/7092150402

If you are still stuck for a Garmin mount on Monday just let me know and I'll pop one around to you. The rubber o-ring stem fitting one, right?
You can more or less explore any of the quieter roads as it is a nice spot. I'm not a fan of any of the busier roads, even the bigger small roads, as the quarry trucks thunder around the place.
If your "road riding" can actually be a bit more "gravel" then I can help out with some nice off road loops from Mells.
Road-wise you can get in to Bath really easily via the bike route through Radstock and then you are in to GCN country. Plenty of lovely hills and views around Bath.
The bike route the other direction from Mells, heading through Frome will give you a pretty flat route through Longleat and on towards Stourhead.
Wells is a pretty place and continuing on that direction gives you the classic Mendips bits.
I should add I am in no was a roadie hence the off road bias 🙂
Get in touch with Pronto Bikes in Frome. They organise evening rides and can probabl share routes

Second that, if they can't then they'll put you in touch with plenty who can. If you've bought an mtb, I can put you in touch with plenty of folk who can show you round the t'other side (i'm not around atm otherwise i'd oblige)
Thanks for three replies - in restricted as with family and have to squeeze in rides when I can.
Dan W that would be great thanks
