Hey all,
Andy is smashing the running this weekend so has wimped out of any further torture :-)
The weather is supposed to be a little damp so I suggest main roads and therefore a recce of Reliability Ride 1. For the last 9:30am start of the winter we will do the 50 mile ride, finishing at Hannah's Diner for a coffee stop before the 8ish mile stroll back to Bridgend via the A48 from Cowbridge. Little bit longer than normal if you do the whole route but as it is essentially two laps, there is the option to turn off if time doesn't allow for anyone. The route is as follows;
Brackla - Bridgend - Laleston - A48 - Ewenny Roundabout - Death Valley - Wick - Llantwit Major - Llandow Circuit - Cowbridge - Ystradowen - Pontyclun - past Leekes - Llanharan - Bryncae - Pencoed - A473 past Coychurch - Ewenny Roundabout - Death Valley......then repeat to Cowbridge. On the second lap climb Primrose Hill to Hannah's Diner for the summit finish (KOM points on offer here). See link below

See you Sunday
Nick
