Title: Chaser's Ride - Sunday 8th January
Post by: Mark Pope on January 06, 2017, 11:42:14 AM: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/14204149

The proposed route for Sunday is:

Brackla - Coychurch - Pencoed - Bryncae - Talbot Green - Llantrisant - Beddau - Creigau - Groes Faen - Gwern-y -Steeple - Welsh St Donats - Aberthin - Cowbridge - Nash Corner - Llantwit Major - Wick - St Brides - Ogmore - Ewenny - Brackla

It's just under 46 miles with coffee stop options at either the garden centre just outside Llantwit Major or Café Velo. I have attached a link above. See you Sunday at 0930.

Post by: Mark Pope on January 08, 2017, 05:03:53 PM: We had a good turnout this morning with 10 Chasers on the start line at Brackla and 2 more joining us on route. We headed out to Talbot Green before taking on the cheeky little climb up to old Llantrisant and on to Beddau, Creigau, Groes Faen and through Cowbridge on the way to a coffee stop in Llantwit Major. Unfortunately the planned stop at Brambles Tea Rooms was a no go as it was closed for January and Cafe Velo was Packed to the rafters, so someone had the bright idea to go to the pub instead. So after a further 10 minute jaunt we pulled in to the Three Horseshoes in Marcross for a very pleasant 'coffee' stop. After the stop we decided to cut the ride slightly short and headed home via St Brides and Death Valley for a ride of around 43 miles.

Out today at various times were:

Andy Storrie
Mal
Tony
Rich Bowmer
Leo (Newbie)
Nick Langley (Late on parade)
Chris Reed (late on parade)
Jonathan Spinks
Rich 2
Roy 2
Mike (still riding his tractor so fast uphill we suspect electronic doping)!

See you next week.
