Amblers Club Run - Sunday 29 May

[Mark Pope]

Unfortunately I'm not able to ride tomorrow morning. Hopefully one of the Ambler's old sweats will post a route. Normal service will be resumed next week. Enjoy the sunshine .

As Mark was away I took the initiative by saying it was such a nice day I was going over the Bwllch even if no-one else was! Seven riders on 6 bikes set off:
Steve C/Keith
Steve Chapman
Lee
Jonathan
Terry
Me
We went through Porthcawl before it got too busy, Terry and Steve Chapman both turned back at the A48 as neither of them were feeling 10%.The rest of us pressed on  up the Afan Valley side of the Bwllch.There were a throng of disappointed cyclists at the top wondering where the ice-cream van had got to. Steve and Keith went straight on down the valley,the remaining 3 of us(including Lee who  also wasn't feeling 100% but persevered!) diverted over Llangeinor and home over the common. Approx 50 miles in approx. 3 hours wasn't too bad for the halt and the lame!

Various cycling fashions on display yesterday: Harpo's disco shoes, Terry's Mailot Jaune, Steve's 'complete Rapha' (might want to check your insurance cover?) and Mark's Aussie rules Castelli.
Lovely ride with the tandem over the Bwlch de Ogmore - recommend a try out with Keith for Dave and Harpo sometime soon?
Tom - the Vale high point is St Hilary radio masts at 134m, Wick a mere 100m.

Thanks Sreve-shows how much credibility I should place on whatever my brother tells me!
