Good to see Karl out Sunday morning, first club run with his 'bionic knee'

Road the planned route at a decent pace, 16mph ave, which was perfect for my last ride before Ironman Wales and to give Karl a good workout.

IM Wakes next Sunday, so see you Sun 20th

I'll be out for a easier pace, 'no drop' ride this Sunday. 30-40 miles at pace of slowest rider and at least one coffee stop.

Suitable for all riders, old, new, young, unfit, returning from injury, desperate for fitness before Mallorca trip, all are welcome.

Weather not looking great, so dress appropriately  :D

Depart from Dialysis centre rear of Brackla triangle 9:00

Good to see some new riders out this Sunday. 6 of us set off from Brackla, Scott, H, Andrew (returning member), 'newbies' Lizzie and Kevin and myself.
Rode the planned route, out over the common, Tondu, Maesteg and climb up to the golf course. Andrew turned back after Bryn and the five of us headed for Porthcawl. Kept a decent pace with Scott and H doing plenty of work on the front. Quick coffee stop at the harbour before heading to Kenfig Hill, where Lizzie showed everyone a clean pair of heels on the climb up to Cefn Road. Scott left us as we turned down toward Laleston and final loop around Ogmore. Kevin peeled of at Laleston leaving three of us to complete the ride.
Great morning out and hopefully see you all out again, soon

Good turnout for the 8am start today. Seven us from Brackla, me, Paul, Mark, Chris, Rich L, Jonathan and Tim. And we picked up Mark Ellis riding through Bridgend made 8.

Another good ride in great conditions with everyone taking turns on the front, especially Chris and Mark. Rode as a good group just breaking up on the climbs but regrouping at top and bottom. Just a reminder for everyone to look at the route before riding. Not that Mark Ellis could be blamed for trying to take us through Cornelly instead of Pyle. And Paul tried to take us to Briton Ferry in order to climb the Bwlch from Taibach, we eventually detoured through Cwmafan to Pontrhydyfen to get back on course. And everyone enjoyed the refuel stop in MacDonalds in the sun although Rich L did complain about the distance to the coffee stop which came just short of 50 miles. 78 miles for me overall today and 5,203ft of climbing.

Thanks all for a very enjoyable ride.
