Probably Swansea marina or Mumbles via Skewen and Bonymaen

Did have Newport/Machen as an option!

We can discuss Sunday

11 Pacers out this morning:-
Steven
Greg
Mark
Jason
Chris
Craig
Terry
Nick
Leigh
Keith and me on the tandem.
Headed out via the lanes, for bit of protection from bitterly cold wind to St. Fagans and then north Cardiff before the lanes to Rudry. Turned out not to be as tandem friendly as I hoped but a good workout. Coffee stop in Caerphilly before heading for home via Church Village and LLantrisant where the tandem ran out of steam as the pace seemed to pickup a tad!
89.5km in 3:20 for the tandem
