Title: Friday 20th Nov - Amble Around the Vale
Post by: Mark Pope on November 19, 2015, 10:42:39 AM

Is anyone out tomorrow? I'm planning to be at the B&Q Roundabout at 0945 for an amble around the Vale. I would normally follow the usual route via Treoes, Llangan, City etc, with a coffee in Llantwit, but I'm prepared to vary that (except for the coffee which is compulsory ;) depending on the state of the back roads.

Hi Mark, I'm planning to be there - the compulsory coffee stop sealed it.

See you at 9.45.

A pleasant spin around the Vale today in dry, sunny (ish) if slightly cold conditions. We followed the usual weekday route through Trees, Llangan, Welsh St Donuts to Llantwit before a coffee stop and a return leg via the Lanes and the Coast Road via Ogmore. We did around 36 miles at around 16mph. A good old fashioned amble with a few efforts thrown in to keep us warm. Out today were:

Terry
Neil the Beast Bartlett
Mark Bryant (newbie and definitely Pacers material)
Mark P

See you all Sunday.
