Tandem friendly route again, this week (more so than last week) down to Swansea marina.
Outward journey via Porthcawl, Neath, Skewen and Bonymaen and return via Fabian Way

See you Sunday at 9:00, which would really be 10:00!

If you don't mind I propose that the Chasers (AKA the Amblers) join you tomorrow. I'm not completely sure of the route through Skewen but hopefully we can keep you in sight on the way to the Marina.

I can get us from Neath through Skewen over junction 44 to Llansamlet. I don't know my way over Bonymaen but I can get from Llansamlet back down to the Marina.

Post by: Andy H on October 29, 2016, 06:38:39 PM: Happy to sit on the front with you, Mark and we'll set a suitable pace to allow us to ge to marina together. Then anybody feeling frisky can set the pace on the homeward leg, it's normally a bit of a thrash along Fabian way but we can spilt into appropriate groups after that

Post by: Reece0 on October 30, 2016, 05:54:15 PM: No probs. Must have been the black camouflage 😀

Post by: Nick Langley on October 30, 2016, 06:10:28 PM: Is that similar to Phil (The Power) Taylor...I.e. Some fat bloke that loves boozing!? ...sounds pretty spot on 😀

Post by: Andy H on October 30, 2016, 07:33:04 PM: Good riding today, thought groups managed to stay together pretty well and regrouped when necessary.
As usual tandem strugggled a bit in the hills once the pace started picking up on the way home. We were happy to 'mop up' the stragglers at the rear!

Post by: Nick Langley on October 30, 2016, 10:07:57 PM: I'll second that Steven, looks like a seasoned pacer...as was Paul Nicholas after months of Strava inactivity
