Audax / Dr Foster's Springtime Saunter
« on: April 19, 2025, 11:41:34 PM »
200km Audax starting from Cardiff Gate, looks like a 'friendly' route over Severn Bridge, then Gloucester and back via Monmouth and Usk.

Rob and myself have entered, anybody else up for a jaunt?

Saturday 26th April  7:00am start 

Rob has suggested lunch at the Royal Exchange pub in Hartpury, he will have to cycle in 2nd gear so as not to get there before they open at 12:00!!

Attached menu does look good  :D

It's RR 3 this coming Sunday, I'd encourage everybody to have a go at riding this.

Sorry I'm not out the next two Sundays.

Go with the Chasers and ask them to be 'supportive' and hang on as long as you can!  ;)

I say this tongue in cheek but most people who have been out with the Social group would be competent enough to step up to the Chasers

Club Runs / RR2 Sunday 23rd March
« on: March 18, 2025, 04:33:03 AM »
Sunday March 23rd will be the second of the club's Reliability rides. Here is the route:-  https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/5527980
Out via Tondu Rd, Fountain Rd, to Margam then Taibach and the Bwlch. Don't forget after descending the Bwlch and going through Ogmore Vale you then have to take a right turn over Llangeinor before crossing the common to Heol y Cyw, Pencoed and the dual back to Ewenny cafe.
Try and stay in groups and help each other, you'll appreciate it later in the ride

There are two time options for RR2:

1) 50 miles in 3 1/2 hours (14 mph)  Start time 8:30
2) 50 miles in 3 hours (16mph)         Start time 9:00

Please sign on at least 15 minutes before your intending start time. i.e 8:15am for the 8:30am start.

The idea is you ride at your own pace and choose a time you think you can ride the distance in. If you are not sure about the route or your pace then team up with other riders of similar ability. This is really important and makes for a more enjoyable ride.


No computers, watches or GPS devices are allowed,
so if you feel the need to record your ride then tape over or cover up screens. Tape will be provided at the start!  ;D

To be 'reliable' or 'qualify' in RR2 you have to finish + or - 10 minutes of your intended time.


I'll be doing the timing, please be prompt in signing on and remember to let me or other riders know if you don't intend to complete the ride.

Please post your intended start times and which ride you're going for, so others can join you.


See you at Brackla for 8:30am start

The finish is at the Stalling Down next to the Mughal Emperor.

The cafe has closed down, so riders will have to get drop back down into Cowbridge for coffee!

I'll be doing the timing, please be prompt in signing on and remember to let me or other riders know if you don't intend to complete the ride.

Audax / Beginner's Audax - Making Hay 200km March 29th
« on: February 06, 2025, 08:51:41 PM »
Planning to make this my intro to this year's Audax calendar. It's a couple of weeks earlier in the year, than the last time I rode it so hopefully the weather will be OK

It's a great route via Usk, Monmouth and Hay only spoiled by having to climb Torpantau with a 100 miles in the legs!!  :'(

If anybody is interested and wants any information please ask
