Miserable morning to be out on the bike this morning, wet and windy from start to finish, and unsurspisingly not many cyclists at Physique for the 9am start. Just the four of us for a combined pacers chasers group, me, Harpo, Dave W and Nigel. We set off as planned around the coast picking up Tom in Southerdown. Harpo elected for an early coffee stop at Cafe Velo taking Dave and Nigel with him while me and Tom pressed on. And given the conditions we made the call to ride without stopping and give a coffee stop a miss. From Green Dragon Lane we cut across to Llancarfan to avoid the A48 and then through Dyffryn and St Lythans Road. After St Fagans we picked up the Peterstone Road through to Welsh St Donats to try and get some cover from the elements. From here Tom headed for Cowbridge and home to Llantwit and I took the lanes back to Bridgend. Hoping for better conditions next Sunday.
