Title: Mid-week rides 4th-8th Jan
Post by: Tom on January 04, 2016, 02:13:06 PM

I'm afraid the weather forecast isn't brilliant for the morning.If it is dry(ish)I plan to go out-9.45 at B&Q/Starbucks.Not sure who else may be around this week-let me know if you plan to get out.The only other day I can do this week is Thursday.

Looking at the weather forecast, I think it's unlikely I'll be out but will check tomorrow just in case there is any change.

Not entirely surprised to find it was o sole mio oggi! Ironically the main issue I had with the weather was being dazzled by the sun although the lanes were a bit wet in places it wasn't too bad(Llansanor was the worst).I popped into the café Mal but not even Dave was there(I think he'd popped next door).
I'm hoping to get out on Thursday but once again the forecast isn't too promising!

The latest BBC weather gives showers till about 10 Mal-how about meeting at B&Q/Starbucks at 10-we can vary the route a bit for variety+if the lanes are waterlogged! Let me know if that's no good for you otherwise I'll be there at 10!

Tony,Terry Mal and I met up this morning and set off on the usual route but anti-clockwise for a change.I suggested a café stop at Costa in Cowbridge but Tony was loath to forego his toast in Llantwit so we split into 2 pairs passing in opposite directions a bit later as we went round the camp!Mal was disappointed with my performance on the brackla Harriers quiz questions he brought along but still bought the coffees.We avoided the worst of the flooded lanes and got back without mishap!
