Title: Mid-week rides wk of 17/10-21/10
Post by: Tom on October 17, 2016, 12:06:15 PM: At the moment the forecast for tomorrow is quite promising but of course it was wrong yesterday(in a good way though). If it is dry I will be at B&Q at 9.45 as usual. Let me know if you plan to be out too.
Hoping to get out Thursday or Friday too depending of course on the weather.

If it wasn't for the fact he's no longer a Club Member I'd suspect Chris was trying to gain votes in the clubman(person)of the year by paying for coffee(and cake)for all today. In fact he's just a very generous chap!
We're hoping to get out on Friday too-that depends in my case on the weather being good enough for me to finish treating my decking on Thursday-further progress reports to follow.

Post by: Tom on October 20, 2016, 02:51:22 PM: I will be at B&Q at 9 in the morning and will be meeting Carrie at 9.30 at the junction of the Cowbridge/Pontyclun road and the lane from Penlline/City.(just the Pontyclun side of Aberthin. Not sure yet where we're going but probably a 2 or 3 hour amble through the lanes with a coffee stop.
Meet up at either place if you fancy joining us.

Post by: Tom on October 21, 2016, 04:15:32 PM: Superb ride today. Chris,Carrie and I met in Aberthin then at Carrie's suggestion rode To Welsh St Donats, Bonvilston,Penmark,Rhoose,Rhoose Point(excellent new cycle track)Fonmon,St Athan,Cowbridge-coffee in Costa where Carrie and I(Chris had gone to work)pretended we didn't notice G in the corner(true in Carrie's case)with Owen Doull(??).Such a nice day we extended the ride through the lanes back to Bridgend. Great route by Carrie-lots of quiet lanes ,good views and good surfaces-one to repeat again soon.
