Nice starting all together today even thou it was only to bryncethin!
Riders on the pacers ride today was myself, Wayne, Steve c, Jason, Dave w and guest rob hunt.
First hurdle was the bwlch, which we climbed at nice gentle pace, then when on your way to rhigos we were told by 2 cyclists that the road was closed, so we then backtracked to climb over penrhys(which was tough) then mardy! Quick cuppa in aberdare when headed for penderyn where Steve c peeled off back down to glynneath. Wayne then peeled off just before storey arms.
Weather was excellent as we hit the dreaded ,devils elbow, which gets harder every time! Jason went back over penderyn and we headed back to glynneath!  enjoyable and hard ride today, thanks all
