Club Runs / Club Ride : January 12
« Last post by RobC on January 13, 2025, 03:42:23 PM »
Been a bit slack on forum posting of late but there was a club ride on January 12, and for anyone wondering, we should expect at least one ride each Sunday for the rest of the year.

Out on Sunday were Nige, Paul, Mark, Chris, Richard L, and Karl for a loop out to Barry via Groes-faen, and back along the coast through Rhoose. Slighlty less cold than in recent weeks, and with actual sunshine for more that half the ride we gradually warmed up before coffee at an oddly quiet Romilly's. What little breeze there was seemed mostly in our favour on the return with Nige picking up the pace. Communication generally working well up the line to avoid any gaps opening. Nice to see a few fans of the club out, passing closely to shelter us from any cross-wind and giving us a cheery beep. A few of us got in a few extra extra miles / minutes of sunshine via Ogmore before heading home.

No storms predicted for at least another week, so hopefully the start of a reliable cadence of club-runs into 2025.

Club Runs / 12 Hills of Christmas

Last Christmas I gave you my hills,
But the very next day we all had Covid
This year, to save you from tears,
I'll give you a coffee in Porthcawl

Sunday 22nd - 9am start

Club Runs / Chasers Bethlehem Ride 15 December 2024
« Last post by RichardB on December 11, 2024, 08:39:09 PM »
A number of the chasers weren’t able to make the annual pilgrimage two weeks ago so we’ll have another attempt this Sunday.

Direct route out to Brynamman and over the Black Mountain to Bethlehem and photo call. Then across to Fairfach, no detour to Llandeilo, and on to Llandybie and Ammanford and Pontardawe and direct route home from there the way came. It is going to be around 96 miles, I’ll get the route up on Strava or Garmin before Sunday.

At least two cofffee stops, one in Pontardawe on the way out and possibly Ammanford on the way back. There are a few cafes in Pontardawe if we turn right at the lights instead of heading straight up the hill and Rich L did give me the name of a cafe in Ammanford which is escaping me for now.

Pace at the speed of the slowest, which may well be  me, and no one to be dropped or left behind. See you all Sunday.

GRAND DEPART AT 8AM

General Discussion / 2025 membership renewals are due
« Last post by Nige on December 07, 2024, 12:18:55 PM »
Hi all,

I have emailed you with a new membership form you need to complete the form again and pay the amount to join the club again.

At AGM  2024 it was agreed unanimously to keep club subs at £25 full members and £10 second claim and Juniors(u 18) free for the year running January to December. This would require a new membership form to be completed and passed on to the secretary. A new form is needed to update on your 3rd party insurance. Failure to submit a new form will mean you do not wish to remain a member of OVW.

If you need the bank details message me and I will forward on to you.

Don't feel young and virile but 8am start would suit me - weather permitting!
