Title: Pacers 5th May
Post by: harpo on May 04, 2019, 09:08:32 AM

Tad chilly in the morning, so suggest doing Cwm Cadlan route the opposite way around to what we normally do so should be a bit warmer for the ascents 8) https://www.strava.com/routes/18680989

Mark R
Gregg
David Bees
Myself
 Not as cold as I thought this morning, nothing like yesterday thankfully. Stuck to original route although the wind was more a Westerly. Nice to have Mr Bees with us who did plenty of work on the front and also kerbing my enthusiam  8). Early coffee stop in Mcdonalds Merthyr and then somehow on the A470 to Cwm Caldan, which most of us have not done from that side. Thankfully the road surface had been patched up so turned out a good climb. I was having problems with my shifter and got stuck in 52-11 sprocket as Mr bees turned off heading for  Aberdare, then I decided not tackle the Rhigos, Bwlch and head for Glynneath. The rest decided(thankfully) to join me, good work by all on the way home!
Good ride, thanks

Nice ride today and a big change to last week when we froze almost. Enjoyed it. Off north for a bit now so not out next week sadly.
