More social/chasers ride than social ride. First time back out on the road after a three week lay-off for me and a welcome work out. Conditions good this morning, no rain on the ride although the roads were wet in places, and just a bit of a westerly after the turn. Seven of us on the ride this morning, me, Chris, Rich L, Scott, Carl, Tim and Ben. Carl out on his new bike and his disc brakes letting us now he was safely in the group with us. Good group ride with Chris managing the pace on the front of the group for us. Followed route as planned with little incident to report. The usual good coffee stop at Cafe Velo where were all treated to coffee and cake by Ben on the occasion of his birthday, many thanks Ben and happy birthday. Ben significantly reducing the average age of the group today. Leaving Llantwit my rear tyre was a bit flat, I must have punctured on the way in, so I returned to the cafe with Chris to make use of the track pump, leaving the rest to ride on. When we set off again Chris peeled off just after Marcross leaving me to solo home. Thanks all, very enjoyable. I'll post the ride again next Sunday.
