Thanks Chris, I’d forgotten it was this weekend, thanks for the flag. They tend to block th roads off I think, so we may take detour from Laleston up to Cefn Cribwr and down to Pyle. Will discuss with the Group on Sunday morning.

7 chasers out today. Me, Rich L, Karl, Mark, Denise, Steve Chapman and Adrian. Adrian had offered to lead an ambler ride but there were no other takers for that ride. Enjoyable ride this morning in good conditions. Rode at a sensible pace to keep the group together and sharing turns on the front. The usual good coffee stop at Cafe Fresco where the custard slices were an excellent choice. Pace then did pick up a little for the cycle home along Fabian Way and Harbour Way. The group did break up a little along Harbour Way but came back together at Margam. I then rode in with Adrian allowing the others to press on. Looking forward to cycling in the sun in Mallorca this time next week.
