Title: Amblers/Social Ride 5 December
Post by: RichardB on December 02, 2021, 01:44:46 PM: Andy isn’t around this coming weekend so I’ll post a route for Sunday. I’ll keep it to around 50 miles. Weather looking ok with just a bit of a north westerly so we’ll look to head out west somewhere.

Are we moving to a 9-30 start this weekend, can someone confirm for me please. Thanks

See you in the morning

Yes we can lose that descent. We could just go out of Bridgend on the Tondu Road to pick up the Maesteg Road?

We continued on to Pontardawe and then as it was my turn for coffee I treated Karl to a hot apple pie in McDonald's at Baglan before pressing on home over Harbour Way .
