Hoping to tag along with you guys on Sunday, for the first time. Riding over from Ogmore Vale. Hoping to be back about dinner time also. Any idea of how many miles?

I think we'll have a go at this one again in reverse to the route though.

33 miles with a stop at Broomwagon again I think.

4 out today. Myself, Hannah, Nick R and newcomer Chris. Weather was looking a little grim out towards the hills. So that combined with the fact my computer ran out of battery lead us to riding to Porthcawl. Rather than Fountains lane we took the hill to Cefn Cribwr. Always lulls me into a false sense of security that one. From there is was down past Margam Park and on to Porthcawl. We left Broomwagon and carried on home via Dan Y Graig hill and its new road surface. Made the hill so much nicer to ride up.
Once we got to the Laleston roundabout Nick, Hannah and Chris headed home via Bridgend while I headed back via Norton Hill.
Weather held off though and I was home in time to see an exciting stage of Le Tour.
