Lining up for the Pacers today were: Dave, Paul, Greg and Toestrap Steve for a 63mile 'four valleys'.
Paul dragged us up the two major climbs maintaining fairly good grouping and better-than expected meteorological conditions.
That was all to evaporate faster than one can say 'look its not raining' and the group negotiated the 'waterfalls region' with water falling in ever greater volumes.
We were treated to two of Wales' most spectacular views - the summits of the Brecon Beacons in clear skies from the top of the Rhigos and Port Talbot steelworks and associated housing estates in the rain - its not just our weather that offers so much variety is it?
Great effort Greg to (mainly) stay with this small bunch over about 63miles at approximately 17mph.
