This is the ride I have been on about doing when the weather breaks starting somewhere around aberdare
https://www.strava.com/activities/975664294
Its a stunning route and will have to drive to aberdare to start, more the merrier. Let me no if intrested 8)

Good idea to drive somewhere, we, the Amblers are going to drive to Llandeilo and do a ride from there, when the weather gets better. In the old days, there was a ride to Aberystwyth B&B then ride back next day.
-
2 coffee stops as well, first in Llanwrtyd Wells after the Military Road then Llandovery after Lake Brianne 8)
-
Looks like that would be awesome. Think 107m might be a bit much for me, however we can always do an alternative shorter 85-90m for Chasers starting and finishing on the same place? Can you have a look at a shortcut route?
-
Not really if you do you’ll miss out on some stunning scenery. Starting in hirwaun instead of aberdare will knock a few miles off!
-
Yep looks good to me
-
Looking to do this 27th may if the weather is good 8)
-
I'm in free weekend for me at the moment
-
Sounds good then straight to the cider festival in the watermill 🤪!
-
Haydn, I should be ok for that date. I’ll let Mick & Haydn know.
-
Excellent, tell toffer as well
-
Think he’s away, but I’ll let him know just in case
-
I'm up for this. I'll bring a map in case I get dropped! ;D
-
If possible I need a lift to start or its begging wife to use her car.
-
No worries Nigel, we will sort it :)
-
cheers
-
I’m in.... or out whichever the case maybe.
-
We will be meeting to leave on our adventure at 9am on the start line of where the R25/3H (hope theres no tt on 8) )CF44 9UL. Can you confirm if you want a lift up there so i can try to sort it. Me , Nigel and Chappers need lift so far.

I can drive and take one extra person with bike
-
Happy to drive if needed. Room for another bike plus passenger but will mean stacking bikes
-
If you've got a tow bar your welcome to borrow my rack which fits on a tow bar and can carry 3 bikes
-
Don’t worry about it, just look after yourself!
-
Like Reece I got room for another but it will be stacking the bikes.
-
Harpo - he’s riding all the way!! What a plonker 😂
-
Will be good to see you mike, it’s been a while! Will have to keep you on the reins mind :)
-
I’ve got worse words than that ! He’s better off doing it on his todd
-
I’ll slow up just for you x
-
I intend coming along if there will be other chasers to keep me company in the grupetto. If I do I'll drive and there will room for another bike on the car and a passenger.
-
I'm driving up with room for another one + bike

Weather not so good if BBC is correct...

Yeah been keeping an eye on it, the forecast for Mid Wales wasnt to bad yesterday but getting worse now! Will see if it changes tomorrow, if not will cancel for another fine day ::)

Weather is not the best Sunday, rain in Aberdare and low clould cover in Mid Wales so will cancel and wait for the next glorious Sunday 8)
As for this Sunday we will decide on the route when we get to Physique , so we have a better idea which direction the thunderstorms are and go the opposite direction!

All go for this Sunday! Weather looks fantastic! 8)
