Club Run 23.03.2014

[Jason T]

Not sure what everyones plan will be for this Sunday as we will probably be low on numbers again.

If anyone wants to go out in a group similar to last weekend, looks like there will be a dedicated 25ers group, then please post here.

As for a route, would anyone be interested in the following:

43.9 Mile Route, not too much climbing at 2,790ft and a proposed cafe stop at 22 miles in at Dyffryn Gardens (avoiding 5 Mile Lane).

If the weather turns, it looks like a mixed bag at the moment, then we could return from Dyffryn Gardens down the A48 which would make it a 36.5 Mile Route.

.... just so long as I'm back home for 13:30ish for the coverage for Milan-San Remo I should be happy.

Ill be up for that what kind of pace you looking at?

[Jason T]

We'll go with the ability of the slowest person tomorrow, just hoping the rain showers are pushed back to the afternoon 

[Chris Reed]

I'll take the role of slowest rider :-)

What time again? 9 at Bracla?

[Jason T]

09:00... I'll leave 2 minutes earlier today to account for any headwind delays 

[Jason T]

Last minute change of plan...

What with there being four, I think I counted four, would be 25ers and no Ron due to his man flu we changed up the route to accommodate everyone;

Out through Coychurch -> Pencoed -> Llanharan -> Pontyclun -> Cowbridge -> Llandow -> Ewenny

The group split here where the 25ers returned to Bridgend and the rest of the group put in a few more miles around Porthcawl, Kenfig, Pyle and back to Bridgend.

Well done to Ann for getting around the course, when Ron returns for a dedicated 25er group the pace will be slower, less climbing and it should have a cafe stop if available, no doubt your legs are feeling it but hopefully that won't put you off.

Looks like Andrew Fosters climbing legs are returning from his christmas break.

Sorry for not turning up today but at least it was fine, I should be out next week, after that we will be in to the Time Trial season. Most races are held on a Sunday so I will be missing for some of the rides. I am sure you are all getting to know each others limitations and will be able to venture out into the wilds of the Vale heading for the various cafes.
