A great turnout today for a slightly shorter than usual Ambler's ride at around 48 miles. However, it was not without incident as Andy Storrie came a cropper on the new cycle path near Coychurch, with a nasty little fall that took off a few cms of skin and left him with a gashed forearm and a torn jersey a la Contador. Fortunately his bike was ok ;D. Newbie Matt also had an impressive mechanical with an escaping cassette and rear mech ( hope you got home OK Matt)? Aside from these two events it was an enjoyable ride in perfect weather, taking in the Vale and Coast around Porthcawl. 15 Oggies were out with Ambler's today enjoying the sunshine, the riding and the top quality cake at Parc  Slip. On the road were:

Steven
Andy Storrie
Tony
Terry
Rich B
Lee
Lea
Tom
Matt
Chris R
Clayton
Roy R
Craig
Mark P
Bugger - forgotten someone!

I'm away next week but hopefully one of the regulars will post a route. See you in a couple of weeks.
