Seven out; myself , Karl, Mark Bryant and Rosser, Scott, Martin and Richard.
Mark had already been to Greggs for coffee and a doughnut.
Entrustment level 1 at the start of the ride.(Independent practice)
No clear route but it played out OK through Treoes Llangan City Welsh St Doughnuts, old five mile lane Rhoose Fonmon Gileston St Athan and Cafe Velo.
A round of cakes followed but I stuck with the free Lavazza mini biscuit which proved to be a great fueling strategy for the next 10 miles. It got a bit frisky as Mark brought the Wattbike HIIT interval sessions to the road, Martin peeled off having been distanced several times (five weeks off the bike eating and drinking didn't help). Although I did tow him back to the group in my defence.
We then beasted one another round Southerndown and Ogmore having completely forgotten that it was the social ride long ago.
Entrustment level 2 at the end of the ride (indirect supervision).
Now Richard B is back it will be more sensible.

Five out this morning; Andy, Nigel, Scott, Allyson and myself for a very enjoyable easy paced ride through the lanes along most of the old midweek route to Cafe Velo. I parted company at the junction with the coast road.
Camera footage provided by Scott, no one got pushed off and there was much talk about fine dining, Rick Stein and scallops which made my stomach start to digest itself on the way home.
I will take the social ride next week in the absence of anyone more responsible.

Four out this morning (briefly five), myself, Martin, Rahul, Carl and Mark (who had to go shopping or something). Nice leisurely ride through City, Welsh st Doughnuts, old five mile lane, Rhoose, St Athan Llantwit (all important coffee stop) and ridgeway home.
I think about 45miles for the Bridgend contingent.
Another very enjoyable morning thank you everyone.

Seven departed for the planned Myself, Mark R and J, Richard L, Tammy, Tony and Lee. A light shower on the ascent of the Rhigos and at llanharan but otherwise a reasonable temperature. Nice coffee and cake outside Bradleys and a steady quicker pace home. Thank you everyone for a very enjoyable morning.

Turned out nice today, seven of us headed off on the planned route; Myself Scott Tim Richard Tammy Lee and Mark. For once Scott didn't need to send the ride footage to the police and as a bonus Bradleys was open so we stopped off there. Nice detour down the cycle path at the end too!
Overall a nice steady group ride.
