I will not be out this Sunday, will someone take out the slower group, bread crumbs from last weeks ride should still be on the route. Weather looks to be warming up slightly but ice patches could still spoil your Christmas so be careful, if in doubt stick to the TT.

Im out Ron. So I don't mind taking over.

Nice chilly morning. Had planned Margam-Maesteg-Bwlch-Nanty moel-home. But based on the frost on the roads round home we ended up riding the lowlands. 5 out today. Myself, Tom, Mike, Nick and Carrie. We left Brackla heading for Ewenny. Up post office Hill. Down Lampha Hill. Over to Llandow then on to Llanmihangel. Up the short slippery Treguff Hill. Down to Penmark up Penmark Hill. Along the Barry to Llantwit road. Turned off by the Cenotaph to St Athan. Then on to Filco and Cafe Norley for coffee - apologies again for the mess. I left the group there at 36miles (as I was already home).
Good ride though. Some cheeky hills and a nice cobweb blast at 30+mph from the BAMC.

Yes Ben,thanks for the route and the coffee-superior to Café Velo!
Sorry to Nick and Carrie-Mike and I did wait at St Brides but guessed you must have turned off-I'm interested to see how fast Mike will go once he's got something other than his hybrid to ride!Lidl was hell(as you would expect!)

Thanks Ben - nice coffee and a good route.
Tom - Sorry, I tried to catch up with you as you were chasing Mike down apace through Wick where we turned off; You were obviously just beyond shouting distance - apologies if you were waiting for us later on.
-
No problem Nick,glad you got home ok-serves Mike right for going so fast!!

Glad you enjoyed it. Mike is a very strong rider. Always suprises me how strong he is on a hybrid
