What, the 305Km Route  ;D

Or something like this (still lots of climbing and a stop around half way at sennybridge)?

Like the look of your route Jason, kind of wish I wasn't running 50 miles on Saturday, so I could join you!  :-[

We could always save that route for later in the year if people fancy something else.  :)

Have checked the depart times from Margam and if we leave at 0900 prompt we will get to Margam to join a few waves of riders!

Note to self - it's one thing to see the map, but another to understand which direction they are going!  After some poor understanding on my part we joined the Dragon ride in Port Talbot and then there was a selection on the Bwlch.  A handful of use turned off and returned via Nantymoel, whilst the others went over the Rhigos to Aberdare.

Good ride fellas - Paul, Mark & Hadyn looking in great shape for the forthcoming road race. Amazing to see how fit Jason is already! Even more amazing was seeing Dave W tackle the Bwlch like a Points Race! If you can put in bursts like that all the way up a hill like that, then you need a try-out at the track sometime soon! (but please keep a lid on those 'fast twitch' fibres in the 4-up!)

Good ride today, well organised and fast paced group. Managed to stick together with the minimum amount of stopping after we got the Bwlch and Rhigos out of the way. Decent pace heading into Aberdare and after the coffee stop heading home through Treforest and Church Village.
