Wayne, I'm fine with RR2 or whatever if the other amblers want to do something different.

Roy - briefly RR2 is Port Talbot / Bwlch / Ogmore Valley / Bryncethin / Pencoed / Ewenny. About 50 miles with circa 4000 feet of climbing.

8  Riders  this morning Roy  Chris G  Ben North , S. Chapman , Tom, J . Spink , Tony and Wayne . With Kieth  and Steven on Tandem.We had intensions of doing RR2 Route but Roy, Ben and Chris G carried on passed Taibach  lights and headed up the Neath valley. Steven and Kieth also headed on towards Neath . That left the five of us to  head up the Afan  Valley over the Bwlch  Llangeinor  and then a detour to Bryngawr  for a coffee stop. Then over Heol Y  Cyw common over to Coity and back home. 52 miles for me

Eira's cafe for Keith and I and back via Aberavon and Porthcawl.  Good learning as to how a tandem works on a club ride!
