Title: Chasers 14 August
Post by: RichardB on August 12, 2022, 05:29:45 PM
I’ll post a route for Sunday, it’ll probably be Swansea Marina going out through Skewen and Winch Wen. But noting it is a chasers ride and to be ridden at chasers pace not pacers! I’ll dig out an old route and post tomorrow. Coffee stop in Cafe Fresco in the Marina.

So here is the route for Sunday

Bridgend- Laleston - Porthcawl - Kenfig - Harbour Way - Briton Ferry - Neath - Skewen - Llansamlet - Winch Wen - Swansea Marina - Fabian Way - Briton Ferry Bridge - Old Road through Baglan - Port Talbot - Margam - Pyle - Kenfig Hill - Laleston - Home

About 55 miles I think , coffee stop in Coffee Fresco in the Marina.

I don't think there is anything on in Swansea tomorrow?

Only the chasers ride this week, no pacers and no social ride. 7 out on the ride, me, Richard L, Karl, Mark, Denise, Lee and Angelo dropping down from his regular pacers ride. Good pace out following route as planned and largely rode as a group. It was very warm from the word go and pretty hot in the last hour of the ride on the home leg. Good coffee stop in Coffee Fresco in a very sunny busy Swansea Marina. Then the return leg with Lee opting to solo home leaving the rest of us to ride as a group. Worked well down Fabian way but the power came on at the front then up to Briton Ferry Bridge causing the group to split. We regrouped through Baglan but soon split again with first me and Richard off the back, me and Rich then rode home together from Margam.
