If it’s still really cold when we get to Neath, we will stay low and head for Marina

Fairplay, I was surprised to see all the regulars there this morning

 With the Garmin Edge reading -3 as we met at phyique, we reluctantly set off for Porthcawl in freezing conditions. The roads actually were fairly good, all well salted and dry so no chance of black ice. I did most of the whinging at the start, due to the fact that  could not feel my fingers. After Porthcawl we pushed on to Neath where we had a vote to head for Severn Sisters or the lower option of Swansea Marina, the latter won with four opting for the Marina. I think it was a wise decision (myself and Paul opted for Severn sisters :) ) because when we reached the Marina the water in the Harbour was freezing over! After coffee it warmed up to a tropical 3 degrees as we headed for home and because of the headwind we took the back roads to Port Talbot. We then climbed up to Bryn and Maesteg to finish off a good ride!
Kudos to everyone who rode today

Good ride today if a bit chilly,surprised to see the Marina starting to freeze over. With 6 of us out today at a few points we ended up line astern with alternate black top then club top, looked like a bumble bee lol.
