Yes, will have to take a look at their route so we can avoid.

Here's the route for Sunday, round the coast and in the vale and avoiding the Dragon Ride. Weather looking good.

https://www.strava.com/routes/19111136

Round the coast through Ogmore and Southerndown and through the lanes to Llantwit and then out on the Barry Road and Green Dragon Lane to Bonvilston, across to St Nicholas and down to Dyffryn and then the St Lythans Road to Culverhouse Cross and St Fagans for the coffeee stop. Then up to Groesfaen and across to Miskin, Llanharan, Pencoed and home.

About 50 miles with the coffee stop at 30 miles.

I have a touch of Deja Vu Richard.It's supposed to be a lot better than a couple of weeks ago so I plan to ride back towards you and meet up at some point and come as far as the coffee stop.Hopefully see you in the morning!

Enjoyable social ride around the coast and into the Vale as planned today.

8 of us out in total today, 6 of us set out from Physique, me, Chris G, Richard L, Matt, Mark and Dan, and joined en route by Tom and Roy2. Warm conditions and stayed dry, just a bit blustery at times especially on the home leg. Rode well as group on the way out with most of us sharing a turn on the front. Alan and Jason both spotted riding in the other direction this morning. Good coffee stop at St Fagans where we've not stopped for a while. From here Chris and Tom headed for home through Peterstone while the rest of us followed the route as planned with good turns on the front from me, Mark and Dan. 50 miles for me today.
There are a few of us doing the Iron Mountain sportif at the end of June so I plan to post a longer route next week with lots of climbing. There will be opportunity for people to drop off where they want a shorter ride.
