Title: Social Ride 24 July 2022
Post by: RichardB on July 20, 2022, 09:00:23 PM

No Andy this week so I’ll be posting a ride and I’ll do this in the next day or so. It will be around 40 miles but we could look to extend on the day depending on who turns up.

Four of us set out this morning, me Chris G Carl and Rahul. The weather was generally ok, a bit drizzly through Llanharan and Brynna to start, but cleared and warmed up through the morning. Rode well as a group and tried to keep a steady pace for Rahul. Followed the route as planned with a welcome coffee stop in Cafe Velo where we met up with Mark Bryant. Chris G headed for home from Cafe Velo and Mark then rode with us as far as St Brides. Once back in to Bridgend we let Rahul ride for home and me and Carl went in search of some extra miles. Enjoyable ride today, see you al again next week.
