Mal, great to meet you the other night. Hopefully I'll be there at 0930 as long as it's not too icy. If it is icy, I'd be quite happy to join you later on as I'll be heading out anyway?

7 amblers ( Pacer chasers  :D ) started out. Coastal route to Southerndown, Llantwit Major ( Ron and new chap pealed off ) around the camp at St Athan, Rhoose around the airport then back along the main road to Llantwit for a coffee stop at café Velo. Well deserved after a chain gang effort all the way back from Rhoose to Llantwit. Definitely required to catch Malcolm after his break away.  :o 
Out today were
Tony
Chris
Richard
Ron
Malcolm
Andy
and one new chap. sorry didn't catch your name.
Just over 50 miles for me and a good pace. Considering the damp misty conditions, it turned out to be an enjoyable ride.

Oh!And the exciting news is the short stretch of road from the junction in Ewenny(turning to Southerndown) to under  the railway bridge(opposite the bus stop where the Saturday ride used to start)which was a contender for worst road surface in the Vale has been re-surfaced!!Hooray for the Council!!

Little bit too much for me today after the Christmas colds, Nick is the missing link, he came back with me, his father was in PTW in the 70/80's, did TT's. Tom, just the rest of Wales to Tarmac now.

Hi, new chap here 😀 Thanks for the ride today guys, really enjoyed it and will definitely be back for more. Just hope I can stick with the pace a little longer next time and build from there. My Dad is called Colin Langley, some of the 'less young' chaps might have known him back in the day. Hopefully see you again next week
