I'm going to skip this one as I'm coming down with a ear/throat infection and I don't want to aggravate it even more for Christmas, might try to sweat it out tomorrow on the rollers in a warm room.

Anyway, it looks like the best day of the week to get out for a ride so don't waste it.

Six riders out today for a steady spin to Margam Porthcawl coast road and Cowbridge where I peeled off. Neil, Wayne Terry Richard and Haydn. Wayne and Terry left at Cowbridge, the rest of us stopped at the new cycle cafe; Cafe Goodwin for a mince pie (don't worry Paul it only opens once a year).
Thanks for the company and Merry Christmas.

Thanks all and thanks to Chris for the festive cafe stop. A good work out for my legs today and a hard ride home into the wind to finish.

Thanks to all who rode this morning, perfect weather, no mechanicals and some unexpected festive hospitality at Chris's house to prepare us for the last leg of the ride!  Merry Christmas!

Chris, I would have stopped for tea if I knew a mice pie was involved as well !! Thanks for the offer but needed to get back really. Enjoyed the ride/company - although after climbing Primrose hill out of Cowbridge the ride home along the A48 into a strong wind was really tough and I just watched my average speed tumble.
