Title: Amblers ride Sunday 16th July
Post by: Ben on July 11, 2017, 07:07:26 PM: I won't be out this weekend. It's my wife's 40th on Saturday and we have my parents visiting. So could someone take the ride for me please?

I should be ok for 30 odd miles though I'll meet you at Litchard cross at 9.10 if that's ok - if I've read the route correctly thanks

Young Ben out in short sleeves and no rain jacket!
Also out Mark R, Chris G, Haydn, Greg, Mike, Lee, Adrian, Richard, Mal and me.
Mainly flat route with a couple of lumps. Mostly at a reasonable pace, although occasionally above 'ambling' 🙄
Richard had a mechanical just before Margam and had to be rescued, trust you got home OK!
Coffee stop in the broomwagon, where the rain seemed to ease off but started again on the return leg to Bridgend. Group split at Llandow where the Pacers in the group decided on a 2nd coffee stop in Cowbridge.
Enjoyable ride despite the weather
