Title: Amblers' Club Run - Sunday 2 August
Post by: Mark Pope on August 01, 2015, 11:37:39 AM
I'm away tomorrow morning, which is a shame as the forecast is actually dry for a change. So regular Amblers feel free to post a route or step up to Haydyn's ride over the Devil's Elbow. I'll be out mid-week and next Sunday. Have a good ride.

Amblers could do one of the rides we did in the week-Bwllch via Coity Common,Llangeinor and turn left at the garage then all the way down to Port Talbot and to Porthcawl/Broomwagon.Back to Bridgend via the lanes-about 50 miles?

8 Amblers out today(fortunately for me as I have no chance of emulating Mark'Memory Man'and listing 20 or so riders).Out today were
Jonathon
Lee
Roy 2
Terry
Ross
Jonathon Saunders
Neil B(slumming it as a bald tyre made him apprehensive of the Mid-Wales wilds)
Me
We did the planned route over the Bwllch,setting off with the Pacers but only as far as Coity!The coffee stop was at the Broomwagon-a warm welcome from the chap behind the counter.5 of us came back via the lanes-Stormy Down etc,3 going the more direct but much busier 3 steps hill.
The weather was warm and sunny-the fact that this was the first club run Mark has missed for many weeks and also the first dry Sunday for an equally long time does cause one to wonder if there is a causal relationship there?

Excellent ride today after a month off the bike I was feeling the pain at the end of the ride the coffee stop couldn't of come quick enough. Not going to stay off the bike that long again,

Sounds like a really good ride and in nice weather. I'll be back next Sunday so expect snow, sleet and crosswinds! :)

Looks like rain is forecasted for next sunday mark, but after today I think I'm going to get a gabba2 and brave the weather.id rather get wet than feel that much pain again.

Great ride today, good to be back with the club after a while out on holiday, charity ride and sportive, weather was fantastic apart from the breeze on the way back and of course the tyre held out thank the cycling gods!
