Title: Pacers 'step up' Sunday 19th July
Post by: Andy H on July 14, 2015, 09:51:56 AM

Route that is tandem and stepping up Amblers friendly, to follow.

Nothing too steep and around 60-65 miles!

Suggestion for Sunday

https://www.strava.com/routes/2819956

Out via Pontyclun, Radyr to a loop around Rudry, back via Pontypridd and Llanharan

Pace will be suitable for ANY Amblers wanting to step up!

Nobody will get left behind, they even wait for me!!

Broomwagon due to open Monday.

Target pace will be around 17-18mph but importantly at a pace where we don't drop anybody!

Exception is the climbs where we will regroup at the top.

Nine Pacers departed Brackla in very damp conditions. No Amblers stepping up, unless you count Andy Samuel, whose ridden with us before. Only Haydn was dressed appropriately for the prevailing conditions,  he was to regret this when the sun came out later. The riders were Haydn, Jason, Paul, Dave, Mark, Steve C, Andy S and the tandem.
Rain didn't last long, v enjoyable ride, esp climb up to and decent from Rudry.
Cafe stop in Hapus ice cream parlour in Machen.
68 miles at 17.5mph (within target pace)
Just need some Amblers to join us next time!

Good ride today! Loved the decent from Rudy, and well done to Andy Samuels for hanging in there!
