8 out today for a mixed group ride. Mark R, Mark J, Carl C, Karl W, Paul R, Martin, Lewis and me (Nige). left Brackla on time heading through Pencoed on to PontyClun, Miskin Groessfaen then lanes to Culver turning of of at St Andrews through Penarth Barry back along the coast. All stayed together taking turns on the front and a nice pace for all. Couple of incidents on the way, Carl C on his first ride since the retirn from Mallorca had squeeky brakes for the ride but also had a peddle come of at Miskin. Guess it was a rush assembly post Mallorca and didnt tighten up enough, anyway peddle back on and we continued to Barry for a coffee stop and we timed it fantastic as we had the place to ourselves. Heading back via the airport Martin dropped a bottle so a slight delay but all underway till the TT round about at Llantwitt when following a bang the sole to my right shoe came adrift so mostly one legged cycling the last 15 miles. All stayed together till the Ogmore by sea turn when Paul and I went round the coast with others going on through death valley. A nice winter ride with nice tail wind home. As agreed at the AGM we all stayed together and noone in the red. Hope to see you all next week.
