Hi Tom
Are you out Friday?
If so I am off for the day so looking to get back in the saddle after Sunday's little spin!

Hi Paul-yes I will be out-Carrie and Steve C(possibly) too-I will speak to Carrie later and post again.I need to be back by about 1.I mentioned a ride over the Bwllch I did last week about 2 1/2 hours riding time ,not sure if that will fit for Carrie-watch this space!

I've just spoken to Carrie and we've agreed to meet at the B&Q roundabout(normal place)at 9.30(slightly earlier than normal).Is that feasible for you Paul?
The plan is to do the ride I did last Friday-Coity Common,Llangeinor,up to the Bwllch by the back road,over the Bwllch and down towards Port Talbot.Take the first left toward Maesteg(Caurau)then straight through Maesteg towards Bridgend but take the lane left tto Shwtt,coffee stop(if you have time)at Bryngarw.Last week with no coffee stop it took me just a bit less than 21/2 hours.
It's a good ride on a sunny day,lots of climbing but not at a fast pace!If anyone else fancies it post here to let us know or just turn up!

Good turn out 7 in total,Terry&Tony,Paul L,Marshall,Carrie+myself joined at Llangeinor by Dave(Steve C obviously decided to give his marriage another chance and not join us today).Most of us did the planned route-1 or 2 diversions but we all came back together on the Bwllch) and enjoyed a nice coffee stop at Bryngarw,sitting in the sun.
Now to tackle that decking again!!
