Title: Chasers 19 May
Post by: RichardB on May 16, 2019, 10:26:13 PM
Weather looking warm and dry on Sunday with just a light north westerly. I'm thinking Swansea Marina, so 50 miles or so and mainly flat. Will post the route in the next couple of days.

Great weather again to be out on the bike today, warm with sunny intervals and just a bit of a breeze. Eight of us out today including a welcome return to a club run for Steven after an enforced 3 month absence. Good pace today, average 19mph, which will hold him in good stead for an early return to the pacers.
8 of us out today, me, Steven, Chris G, Richard L, Lee, Karl, Terry and Dan. Followed route as planned working well as a group on the out leg with turns on the front but the longer turns coming from Chris and Terry. Good coffee stop at Cafe Fresco in the Marina as always, it was very busy with no tables outside forcing us indoors, Dan having the largest tea cake ever. Then came the traditional dash for home with Chris on the front and unwilling for anyone else to have a turn.
Thanks all, see you agin next week.

Thanks to the Chasers for looking after me - they even bought me a coffee and a cake!  (don't get that with the Pacers!).  The only downside was Karl's socks - brown, woolley and probably a pair of Norah Batty's cast offs..

Karls socks sound worse than my merino leg warmers!😂
