Either out on the flat, back hilly or other way around

Please remember as we are going over the Bwlch and Rhigos:-
Club runs extract.
Group behaviour
It is human nature that there will be a competitive element when you have two or more people riding bikes together but please remember that, above all else, the Sunday Run is a social event. It is not a race. ;D

Seven out for a Pacers hilly one. Dave, Steve C, Greg, Allan,Terry, Carl, (guest/new member?) and myself.
Fantastic day to be out on the bike, cool on the descents and in the shade but lovely in the sunshine.
Allan, in fine form set a good pace up Heol Spencer and to the base of the Bwlch. I was soon shelled out the back, being more handicapped than usual, thank you to Terry and Steve for the tow and in Steve's case the 'helping hand' up the Bwlch!
After climbing and descending the Rhigos I decided to head for home and the group split. Dave, Greg and Carl heading on to Devil's Elbow whilst the time challenged, injured and the 'muppet' wearing trainers decided to hit Aberdare for coffee and head home.
58 miles @ 17mph, not bad in trainers and a top 10 on strava :-[ :- 8) :-[
ps In my defence I WAS meant to be running Llanelli marathon today!
pps Don't tell Chris Goodwin, as he gets to award the 'The Trophy' at the club dinner.

Great ride today - thanks for the company. Good blast on the way back from Aberdare, and for once the traffic lights were with us through Church Village. No sign of tan lines yet though :(
