I'm interested. Mild and wet is the end of month forecast, for what it's worth.

I've been ill the last 2 weeks so will just do the Black Mountain loop with you. Will see you on the road between Neath and Rhos. Rich L and Tony will be doing the same.

I'm also feeling s**t but could do with some fresh air so might join for a part ride. Andy. I'll ride with you from physiques at 8:30 if that's your plan and then probably do the shorter loop.

Reece, the shorter loop Rich is taking about is starting from Neath. I was thinking of joining them too. I'm happy to pick you up and drive over to Neath and do that loop.
Its Neath, Pontardawe, Black Mountain, Bethlehem, coffee in Llandeilo, over Trap back to Pontardawe, Glais and back to Neath
It's about 30 mins drive to Neath from  Bridgend and the Chasers are meeting at 9. Let me know if you fancy this option and I can pick you up.
