I'm in Aberystwyth this weekend, for the Wild West sportive (which I can highly recommend)
Please post a route if you have one in mind.

Nothing crazy just a beautiful and quiet part of the country to ride in!

8 Pacers - with me were Carl, Steve, Harpo, Gregg, Jase, Reece and Nigel - Steve Curry joined us for a stretch to Ponty.
Weather brightened up quickly into a tan-lines kind of day. Brisk pace driven by all (and encouraged by Harpo) to Aberdare. Maerdy Mountain tested the legs, but rewarded them with a beautiful descent to Maerdy, but in no time at all it was Penrhys, and that forced us all (even me!) out of the saddle again. A couple of wrong turns on the way to the Bwlch (my fault) were rectified by Harpo's inbuilt sat nav negotiating the back alleys of Gelli. The Bwlch was neutralised by tacit agreement of the peloton, and then it was a fast ride down the Ogmore Valley. We decided Cowbridge would be heaving with the food & drink revellers, so my planned macchiato at Caffe Nero was changed to an invitation for all for instant coffee chez Wardhaugh.
Don't know what happened after that, but I'd guess there was some racing through the lanes back to Bridgend with Harpo buzzing up and down the line nipping heads ;)
Good ride - strong riding by all out today and a pretty good pace considering the amount of climbing.

Cheers enjoyed today, very hot going up Maerdy 😅
