I'll be out to lead a 'Social 'NO DROP' club run this Sunday.
Around 30 miles steady pace usually 13-15mph but depending on the pace of the slowest rider.
At least one coffee stop, all welcome, old, new, male, female.

Depart from dialysis unit car park, rear of Brackla triangle at 9:00am

Just Scott and myself out this morning. Bit cooler than expected at the start but soon warmed up as Scott set a 'rapid'  pace for Social group ride. As the mantra for the Social group ride is to stick to the pace of the slowest rider, there was nothing to do but hang on to Scott's wheel for 95% of the ride.
Did the 'Porthcawl' loop with an additional few miles to Aberavon and coffee at Remo's. First time for me and probably 60 year since I was last on Aberavon seafront, think it's changed a bit!
Scott pushed on back to Porthcawl and home via Mawdlam and Pyle.
Long time since I've ridden at near 18mph ave., thoroughly enjoyed the suffering! 

Four riders out this morning, Richard B, Rahul, Chris G (returning form injury) and myself.

Grey and on the cool side setting off but expected to warm up and see some sunshine, which it did. Largely stuck to the route with a couple of detours into the lanes.

Coffee stop in Cowbridge and finished off an enjoyable and largely uneventful ride, around the coast and on to New Inn road and Laleston.

I'll be out on Sunday to lead a 'no-drop' ride. Cycling at the pace of the slowest rider, nobody to be dropped, around 30 miles with at least one coffee stop.

I will post a route suggestion before the weekend

Depart 9:00am from Dialysis unit car park, rear of Brackla triangle.

I'll be out to lead a 'no-drop' group ride this Sunday.

Riding at the pace of the slowest, 30-40 miles and at least one coffee stop.

Depart from car park of new dialysis unit at the rear of Brackla triangle.

All welcome, male, female, old, new the only proviso is being slow!!   

Good turn out for RR3 although poor communication resulted in a solo rider for the fast group.

Nigel Williams   Finished in 2:59:40   Dq'd
Paul Rosser       Finished in  2:59:40  Dq'd  (for hitching a ride)

Well done to all and especially Rob on a fantastic ride and new record for the course, I believe.

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
